Looks like BFG is making a G-Sport2 again, too.

A few months back, the only 255/50-16's were drag radials and DOT track tires. I'll have to learn more about the G-Sport2. I've had 3 sets of G-sports on my Syclones and Typhoons and have been satisfied with all aspects of them. Glad to know they're available again. Maybe. We'll see.

There is only ONE "correct" (factory-equipped)  tire size for any 1984 to 1987, or 1988 Corvette equipped with 16" wheels. And that is 255/50-16. Period. ONE size tire only for the first 4 years, and the base wheels for 88.

Regardless of Z51, or any other options. 255/50-16. The wheel widths are different, yes. The tires sizes, no.

Anyone know where to get a good look or photo of the elusive Delco Battery for C4's of the 80's? The originals did not last 2-3 years because of leaking and other issues. A very few have found dead originals and put the guts of a lesser battery inside to get around the issue and passed because it looked right. I doubt any Corvettes left the factory that way . NCRS needs to eliminate this needless anal demand for a correct battery. A correct functioning Battery does not exist.
Perhaps a current Delco with the earlier original decal attached is one solution. No one likes to be penalized for something that can't be fixed.
