Michelin’s and the Goodyear’s in my opinion. You’ll need 325’s on the back with the Michelin’s. The ride is significantly better but the price is higher.

Lou,
Thank you for the reply back as I posted in the wrong area. The Michelins would be my choice. Is there and problems with clearance in the rear? I assume they have the front tires in the stock size I haven't looked yet. We have been very happy with the Michelins on the last C6 427 I had and also the C7 Z06. They wear much better than the stock Goodyear tires and handle better. Not having any knowledge of tire sizing what is the difference in the size of the rear tire? I was told I would have to get 18" wheels to run the Michelins are you talking about the PS-2 Michelins or something else? I am looking for a set of A Mod rims as I don't want to dismount the gatorbacks the car has 875 miles on it and I have it all sorted out now everything works. Replaced amps, fuel pumps, and all fluids. Had it out this weekend and it ran perfect gas tank was clean, tires not flat spotted, secondaries kick in as designed. What a great car this is my second 90 had one about 15 years ago just wasn't the car this one is. Again thank you very much for your help. |

Lou,
Can't find a 325/35 - 17 on Tire Rack what size do I need. I see they have the PS-2s for the front. |

I think the PS2's are a 335 for the rear. No clearance issues, I ran them

Yeah I mistyped the rears. Just got back from the garage and they are 335’s out back. They fit perfectly on the 17” inch wheels and do not extend outside the wheel wells. The fronts are the standard 275’s.
Tire Rack didn’t have the 335’s but I did find them at Discount Tire. I believe someone mentioned that Walmart had some earlier in the year. Lou

Precast1,
I used to live in DeBary, FL . Not sure if I uploaded this according to the Forum, but here is my attempt. 1st is a downward photo showing it fits in the wheel well and the others are just angled tire shots. IMG_3136.JPGIMG_3137.JPGIMG_3138.JPG Lou
