Default tires?

i just bought an 00 camaro SS and it came with two different types of tires.
Nitto NT 555 extreme zr 274/40/zr17 are up front and Goodyear Eagle Hp 275/40/zr17s are out back

what im wondering is didnt SS's come with offset wheel sizes like 275 out back and 245 up front. also, which tire would be better for the back and launching? im thinking the nittos would be a better rear than the goodyears.

No the SS, or any other LS1, did not have 2 different kinds of tire sizes.

Z28-Formula-T/A = 245/50/16

SS-Firehawk-WS6 = 275/40/17

Nitto 555r (drag race tire) would be good for drag racing, them new E/T drag radials are even better. BUT driving in the rain on drag radials can be a handful so be careful.


BTW- Congrats on your new car! Time for a name change!


Peace,
Craig.
