68 Camaro tire recommendations

[brickyard69]

I have a 68 Camaro with an LS3 and ridetech suspension with a 60 inch wide Currie 9 inch. The car is not mini tubbed (at this time). Although I would love to, the cost of tubbing and wheels has me on hold.

The car has 275/40/18 and 245/40/18 Nitto NT05s on it that are worn.

I only street drive it now and occasionally do Goodguys autocross.

Any suggestions for new tires? Michelins, Continental, Goodyears? Looking for best ride. I rarely drive in rain (I live in Arizona).



Also considering charging aspect ratio to 35/30 (rear/front) depending on availability. I will also powder coat the wheels satin black.

Nitto NT555?

275/35 on rear and 245/40 on front?

I can’t find a 275/30 rear so I figure. 275/35 is better than the 275/40 I have now.

The 275/40R18 will have better forward bite. Plus IMHO it fills the rear arches better. Similarly with the fronts, it looks more appropriate when you have a 25.5"-26" tall tire. I would keep the stagger as you have it.

Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s are a strong performing budget tire.

For a little higher budget: Yokohama ADVAN A052, Michelin Pilot Super Sport, or Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02.

Any input on this Boze Flowlite figment?

68 Camaro
Stock width Currie 9 inch
ridetech suspension

Rear 18x9.5 with 5.5 BS and 6 offset.
Front 18x8 with 4.75

Running 275/35 and 245/40

I have similar US mag wheels with .25 less BS. They fit ok but I think the extra .25 would help.

Input???

Looks about right to me.

Anyone else have any experience with the Boze Flow Lites on a first gen Camaro?
