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...

.....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.
