Default 315 tire availability?

....I threw on 4 of these a couple of years ago and they may need replacement in a year or two.

Are these size tires still being sold? I think this size is used from the factory on the front of the Dodge Vipers; right?

Anyway, last time it was not easy to get these.... searched for weeks...

315 are EVERYWHERE

probably the most common tire width for anyone with aftermarket wheels.

.....these are new rims in stock diameter (18s??? for a 99 SS)..... the rim widths are 10.5 and 11 inches for front and rear, respectively, I believe. The front rims have a non-stock offset, I believe.

...the front tires made the biggest change in performance..... luv them...

315/35/17 or 315/30/18? The 18s are harder to come by unless you want to spend some $$$ on Michelins, Pirellis, or GYs.

oem rim sizes on an SS coupe would be 17x9. Definitely not 10.5 or 11 wide. The oem tire size should be 275/40/17.
