tire question....need help/advise
- Thread starter thevalueman
- Start date
225/65/17 is common size. (about 2 MPH off)
Also the 235/55/17 (seems more reasonable for this car and about 5 MPH off with a speedo adjustment via PCM)
tiresize.com
I would go with a common size on all 4 to make rotations easier, make sure they don't rub.
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 5 would be great on this car.
I'm not for sure if this is AWD but sometimes their picky. I would go to vette forums to ask around too.

Speedometer Calibration
Speedometer calibration made easy. Use our speedometer calibration calculator to compare how fast you are traveling and your speedometer reading.

she had the "performance package" very handy for 75 year old....also Discount Tire does not appear to carry Michelin....at least in these sizes....they did offer that selection

Lots of retail websites with low cost tires delivered to your door or dealer for install. But, best to stick with one brand/tread design on all 4 tires.
I wouldn't advise going all same size if the manufacturer calls for two different sizes. God forbid there is an accident or worse, it can be argued in court that putting all of the same size on when the manufacturer called for 2 different sizes based on their engineering specs went against the positive handling characteristics the vehicle was designed for, and thus may have caused or contributed to the accident.

That's right!!!
The cadillac engineers had a reason for 2 different tire sizes but what the hell do they know?
