Default What size tires???
New Corvette owner here with a dumb question. I just bought a 2005 Z51 Coupe Corvette. Need new front tires. Guy at NTB says front are 18" and rear 19". Salesman at discount tire says their all the same size. Anyone know what size tires my Z51 really SHOULD have up front??? any help is greatly appreciated as I'm hoping to replace them this weekend. Thanks in advance for any advice given...Steve

Stock sizes are 245/40/18 front & 285/35/19 in rear I believe. If you go to tirerack.com and put in the year,make and model of your car it will pull back your original tire sizes.
