Re: 91 camaro RS tire sizes

Same here with the size - but good luck finding used - hasn't been any 15" used tires available anywhere in last 5 years, and no 16's available for last 3 years. All new cars are coming with 17's or larger, and thus the used market in smaller sizes is depleted.

Kuhmo Esta from tirerack.com is where I get them, less than $400 for 4 nice tires, and the last set I have looks brand new, but 2 years old now.

Re: 91 camaro RS tire sizes

I have a 92 rs. For the sake of discussion, the same as your 91. I just picked up a set of Rikon Raptor ZR, 245/50/16. they look good, and seem tough, and above all, perform great. They can take more speed than my RS can dish out, and can take lots of punishment. Out the door- $425.00 at Belle Tire. I had to get rid of the Kumo's due to the side walls being weather checked. The Kumo tread held up, but the sidewalls weren't for sh**. I was very disappointed with Kumo.
