Is Same

Looking back at past and current hot-rods...

The '76 Camaro Type LT, affectionately known as "The Rust Monster" came to me with 235/60R14 tires.

The Beast has 235/50R18 tires.

That tickles me that they both have the same treadwidth; but are very different tires.

The Camaro's tires were 25.1" in diameter and needed 804 revolutions per mile.

The Beast's tires are 27.3" in diameter and need 740 revolutions per mile.

    Do you have enough mileage to tell if the Beast's tires last longer? I imagine the composition of the tire rubber could have changed, too.

      Modern tires do last longer.

      But my changing to all season tires over max performance is the bigger difference.
