Reply to "Original wheels and tyres."

VERY IMPORTANT!   Keep in mind that overall diameter is very important.  The smaller the tire is the less clearance you have between the bottom of the bellhousing and the road!

You can, with adjustable coil over shocks raise the back of the car but that will give you a bigger gap between the tire and the wheel opening. Also, you will feel a difference in handling as raising the car in the rear changes the center of gravity.

This is not good.  The tires I have now,  235X60X15s in the  front and 275X60X15 rears all made by BF Goodrich. White letters in the back and painted black. The company is now owned by Michelin, now on my second set and they are better than the first. I am happy with them in almost every way.

THE ONLY PROBLEM.

Ride, the rear tires are rated to carry the weight of the entire car!  The tires are stiff for my light car and I would like tires that would give me a better ride.

I appreciate the work that you have done on this subject.

Go to VeloceToday.com, there I have written an article in two sections that compare my 50 year old Corvette powered Mangusta to my new C8 Corvette
