    Tens of thousands of Corvettes also used this size tire

    Started in 1984 and up to a few years later then they went larger after that. The Goodyear Eagle 255 50 16 was initially designed for the new (at that time) Corvette

    I was having a look at the web site and they list 3 different wheels for the rear and 3 different wheels for the front, each has its own different tyre . Imperial and metric. When you look at the last 512 they have different bits again - a bit of a mindfield as some of the rims took TRXs. Have a look on eurospares and see if anything helps.

    When were these tires manufactured? Are they recent or from old stock?

    thanks

    Why not go for 18" rims of the 512TR ? Why do you think the factory changed these 16" rims ?
