My GF has a 2002 camaro ss with 275-45-17 all the way around. Its getting time to replace the factory tires. I want to put "skinner" tires on the front. Probably like a 245. My hopes are it will prevent the car from darting all over "smooth" NJ highways. Car has factory ss wheels I believe 9.5" wide.

Thoughts about this? Recommended tire sizes??

Anything else that can help this car from tramlining all over the place.

Thanks

Dave

 

It might make it worse, you can't be certain. I ran 275s all around back when our Camaro was only lightly modified and it never seemed to dart orshift that much even on rather bad roads or when driving over siping, pavementseams, etc.

 

yea, smaller (skinnier) low profiletires actually make it worse, it might help to get a fatter tire if it can fit, like 275/55/17

 

just keep the same size all around, it shouldn't be darting around. maybe get the alignment checked out

275-40-17 will work great

plus if you use the same size you can get them rotated and they will last much longer

 

My 98 SS "darts around", it usually means I need to check the tire pressure. I've only notice it with low profile tires.
