Vette(s): 1980 Coupe Silver on Claret.
Hi All,
I have a 1980 Canadian coupe that I believe has the original tires. Is there a specification on the brand of tires they used? I have the sticker and it lists the N90 Aluminium wheels and QXH 255 60 15's, but now brand. These are Goodyear Eagle GT's.

Any help would be appreciated!

My 1980 w/ N90 wheels shows QGR tires = "P225/70R-15/B S/E Rad W/LTR". This is from the window sticker.

John, those sound like they may be original or replacement match to the originals. The originals were Goodyear Eagle GTs with the same size you show. Mine shows QXH P255/60R-15XB S/B RAD W/LTR. How do the tires you have look? I would think that for 23 years they would be pretty cracked and dry depending on storage. How do your tires look?
