Chevrolet Corvette C7 tire size

Original tire sizes for the Chevrolet Corvette C7, model years 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. Trim levels and wheel packages change the size within the same year, so confirm on the door-jamb sticker before ordering.

Check this first
Front and rear Different sizes Staggered. Buy a pair per axle and never mix sizes across one.
Wheel sizes 18" or 19" The wheel package decides which one your car has.
Tire sizes listed 2 In 6 model years more than one size was fitted, depending on trim.

Check before you order. The surest answer is the tires on the car right now: the size is molded into the sidewall. The placard inside the driver's door tells you what the factory fitted, which can differ from what a previous owner put on. Our guide on reading a tire size shows exactly where to look.

Which brand should you pick?

Chevrolet does not stamp its own approval code on tires the way Porsche or BMW do. Any tire in the right size that meets or exceeds the load index and speed rating on your door placard is a legitimate replacement, so pick on wet braking, tread life and price. Our picks for each size are on the size pages below.

The drawing carries the sizes we list for this car, so you know what you are looking for. The placard on the car is still the final word, and it is the only place that gives the cold pressures: the number molded into the sidewall is the maximum the tire can hold, not what your car wants.

What those tires cost

Buying wheels at the same time?

A staggered car is the one case where new wheels and new tires usually happen together, because a bent or corroded rear rim is what sends most people shopping in the first place. Four numbers have to match before the size does any good.

Bolt pattern
Number of studs and the circle they sit on, written as 5x114.3. It is not adjustable; adapters are a compromise.
Offset
How far the mounting face sits from the centre line. Wrong offset rubs the strut or the fender, even in the right size.
Centre bore
The hole in the middle must sit on the hub, not on the bolts. A hub-centric ring fills a bore that is too large.
Load rating
Each wheel must carry its share of the loaded car. This is what gets missed on trucks and on anything towing.
