Thank You.
You mean 235-50-16's all around...right? A 235-60 will have a slightly higher sidewall. Prbably no real big effects, but if you want *and can afford* all 4 tires, go with 245-50-16's (or even better, 255-50-16's) all around. Better traction, and looks better than the cheezy 235's.
You didn't mention 215/60-16 which is one appropriate choice, since it's a stock size. I know most here simply don't like to run them, but I do in winter. And if you value ride and rain handling above all else, they're the hot setup.
Mykal - the best idea is to have all 4 the same size. Among other things, it lets you rotate them properly.
Interesting point. The funny thing is that GM shipped out 90+% of their V6 fbodies with 215s. But almost all the 215s I looked at specced a max rim of 7.5.
The exception was one model of Eagle GAs, which had a max rim of 8.5 and which I think is what GM used.
So maybe 215s aren't a good idea unless you use one of the rare ones specced for the 8 inch rims.
Basically I was trying to save some cash. I planned on buying 4 new tires next month. My front tires didnt make it though. I went to a used tire place and got 225/55/16 for up front and kept the 235/55/16 in the back for now.
I didnt realize I could run 245s or 255s on the stocker rims.
Haven’t done anything on the Camaro, but put LEDs on my truck headlights . And my oil pressure sensor went out on the truck so going to fix that this...
