Default Tire Questions!!

Hello Everyone!

I am looking for some info and opinions. I have a 69 Camaro that is getting the full DSE treatment. Its time to buy some tires, I have wheels, they are brand new OEM Corvette ZO6 wheels. I am looking for rear tires right now so we can start mocking up the rear end and figure out final width of the 9 inch.

I am looking at Bridgestone Potenza, General Exclaim UHP, Goodyear, and Nitto Invo. Any info would be welcomed and also opionins on run flats vs regular tire. This will mainly be be a fun driver car for me with some limited track time here and there.

The 325R19 General Exclaim tires have been discontinued.

Run flats definitely harshen the ride quality. I would skip them. All the brands you mention are high quality brands so just read a few reviews and compare the pros and cons and you'll be good to go.

I can't recommend these enough:

I've put them on a lot of super quiet luxury cars. They are super quiet,look great and are pretty sticky in a straight line (no idea about cornering) good lifespan and cheap for a Bridgestone.
