Its time to replace the tires on the vette.

I'm looking for:
295/35/18 Nitto Invo fronts
345/30/19 Nitto NT05r rears


Who has the best tire prices local?

That has to be the widest front tire on a RWD vehicle I have ever heard of. lol That's what I ran on my rears.

They sell them in the Big Boys department, next to the XXXL jock straps :D


EDIT:
If the circumference of the front tires are too much different from the rears, it freaks out the electronic brake control module and thinks something is wrong. So in jumping from the factory 275/325 combo you must keep the ratio difference within that predetermined window in the EBCM. So when going to 345 rears, you either need a 295/35 or a sometimes you can get away with a 285/30.

Hell, if you got away with that size, I'd rather have that size!!! The 295's have a bit too much "under stretch" for my taste......

The 285's did rub the splash guards with the steering wheel maxed out to the L or R, but that was on 18x10 front wheels.
