When equiped with 5 1/2 wheels did 59 Corvettes come with 670/15 tires or another size, possible 710/15s ?

Thanks for the quick reply. The info you related to me agrees with what I 've been able to research. I have been told in conversations that some
C-1s came with 710-15 tires. Is there any circumstance that you can think of that would allow this to be correct ?

Steve -

Possibly dealer-installed, but not from St. Louis.

You might try pricing them from Summit Racing. Of the Coker stuff I have priced from Summit, you can buy it cheaper from them than what Coker charges their dealers.

The 1956 Daytona Beach/Sebring cars had some 7.10 tires available to them for use in Florida but they were NOT a St Louis option.
