    C2 7.75 x15 tire

    Can anyone tell me if I have a corvette correct tire? Looking at my spare the other day and upon removing tire from tub and inspecting it I found that it is a non-DOT 7.75x15 B F Goodrich long miler, tubeless, Blackwall. My 65 coupe came with whitewalls but the original owner swears that this blackwall is the original. I have no use for the tire, do you think this is original equipment? The tire still has nubs on it. Thanks in advance for any help,............Kirby

    How do you know your car was originally equipped with whitewalls?

    OEM prouduction instructions were to equip each car, regardless of tire option with FIVE tires of the same type and brand, so a WW equipped car would have a WW speare of the same make/model/size as the four tires on the ground.

      Kirby -

      Your '65 JG will tell you if that brand/type was used as an OEM Corvette tire. In judging, the spare doesn't have to match the four on the ground - just has to be one of the same brand/type tires that was used originally (and all five tires were the same when the car was built).
