To get the actual factory size tires for the 16 IROC Rim, call American Tire Company or Sears Auto. They have a list of tire sizes for any year of Camaro's. I have the list but I cant find it. Otherwise I would help you.

Try Cooper Zeon sports.

Good tire and fairly inexpensive. I believe Summit stocks them.

If I was strapped with cash, I would buy tires that have the red strip for red colored burnout smoke!

Re: 86 iroc tires ???

check out goodyear indy 500 wide ovals. Best rated tire you can buy, not a bad price, and firestone usually has them on sale

Go with Bridgestone Potenza 960 AS Pole Position's I have 245/50/16's on my factory IROC rims. They grip awesome!!
