Original tires

[Don B.]

I have the original spare under my 72. This appears to be a full size tire. Would the other tires be identical; in other word were all 5 tires the same? All my build sheet says "raised white letter tires" on the options area.

According to the TIM&JG, they came with 5 matching tires, Goodyear, Firestone, or only in 1972, also US Royals, for raised white letter tires.

Thanks so much. I need to pull the spare back down and have another look at it. I think it is G/Y though.

If what you're wondering is if the spare tire should be a compact type spare, those were not even invented yet in 1972. In those days, all cars had full size spares. I really wish they still did. The first Corvette with a compact spare was 1978.
