Dave:  Falken makes a 255/50 R16 that is rated for 150 mph.

Looks like BFG is making a G-Sport2 again, too.

A few months back, the only 255/50-16's were drag radials and DOT track tires. I'll have to learn more about the G-Sport2. I've had 3 sets of G-sports on my Syclones and Typhoons and have been satisfied with all aspects of them. Glad to know they're available again. Maybe. We'll see.

falkin is about the only brand that does make the correct sizez for the 84, especially for the z51.

There is only ONE "correct" (factory-equipped)  tire size for any 1984 to 1987, or 1988 Corvette equipped with 16" wheels. And that is 255/50-16. Period. ONE size tire only for the first 4 years, and the base wheels for 88.

Regardless of Z51, or any other options. 255/50-16. The wheel widths are different, yes. The tires sizes, no.

Anyone know where to get a good look or photo of the elusive Delco Battery for C4's of the 80's? The originals did not last 2-3 years because of leaking and other issues. A very few have found dead originals and put the guts of a lesser battery inside to get around the issue and passed because it looked right. I doubt any Corvettes left the factory that way . NCRS needs to eliminate this needless anal demand for a correct battery. A correct functioning Battery does not exist.
