What kind of tires are on your LT4

[jeffnoa]

I bought a 96LT-4 convertible two years ago with what must have been a NOS set of Goodyear GSCs. They look almost brand new and had the tread depth of brand new tires. So the other day I was curious of their age and found out that the tires were all manufactured between 1996 and 1998. So now I need a set of new tires. I live in FL and only drive the car on weekends. I've only put about 6,000 miles on them in two year. No rain, no racing.

If you want a replacement of the GS-Cs, the Goodyear F1 GS-D3 is the tire to use. I've used them on both my 95, my 04 and on my 01 Camaro and they're great tires.

I have Vredestein on my 1996 LT-4 ..It is driven hard sometimes rain and dry..Cheeper that The F-1s look cool the Vett goies were I point it. I don't know alot about life of the tire .Work great on my Vette.. The Germans put them on High end German autos..Give them a look...

D3's get my vote also.

I had to replace my tires last summer, tried to get the Goodyear D3's but kept getting told by various tire shops that they were on back order with no expected date for production. I ended up buying a set of Kuhmo ECSTA ASX's all around. They have been great tires, good ride and traction and look OK too.

BF Goodrich TA-KDW v2 (or newer if they revised them again)
- Most likely you won't see the v2 unless they happen to still have the old ones in stock. Bought mine last year so I doubt it.
Hands down the best tire you can get. Although I have wheels from a 06' Z06 so not sure if they come in stock sizing. I'm running 18x10" up front and 19x10.5" in the rear. Paid $306/ea for fronts and $360/ea for rears. Amazing wet/dry traction. They tend to turn hard and lose some grip when used in cold weather though. And by cold I mean below 45 degrees ish. Shouldn't be a problem for most people. From what I've read they should be good for about 20,000 miles if driven normally. Much better than the 12,000 miles (if your lucky) from the stock GoodYear tires. I'm at 5000 miles now and drive a mix of normal and aggressive driving. They are easily less than 25% worn.

The OP is asking about stock tires sizes. Does Goodrich have the KDWv2 in 255/45ZR17 and 285/40ZR17?

I replaced my OEM Goodyear GS-C runflats with Firestone Firehawk Wide Ovals (non runflats) in the OEM sizes and am AMAZED at how much nicer my car is to drive. Quieter and sooo much softer over bumps. I might not want to go Sunday racing with these tires (I might consider it), but I'm very satisfied in the performance vs cost factor. Paid around $185 per tire. I don't drive in cold weather (below 50) or in the rain.

[Roadster Guy]

Put new Pilot Sports on last summer....very happy with them.

[boomer]

I got Firestone Wide Ovals last spring and like them much better than the Pilot Sports I had previously. I don't do any hard-core driving, but they handle just as nice, and, as lqueral mentioned, seem to be quieter and even alittle smoother riding.

[Idaho Slim]

If you want a replacement of the GS-Cs, the Goodyear F1 GS-D3 is the tire to use. I've used them on both my 95, my 04 and on my 01 Camaro and they're great tires.

I only see the size available as 285/40ZR17, what about the fronts?
