Does anyone know what make/model of tires were OEM for the '82 (not S/E) 'Vettes? I know the code and size (QXH P255/60R 15 S/B but don't know the mfg. Trying for the 'all original' look because the car is 100% stock.

Vette(s): 1981 Great White Shark. Red Interior, 350/190 hp. PS, PB (SS), A/C CC, T-Tops. Served three years in Active Duty Army, then Retired Air Force after 34 years! Badger State Vettes Car Club. 175,000 Original miles!! Now own a 1998 C-5!
On my 81 it was B.F Goodrich, probably the same for yours!!
Just a note on an old post. My original 82 Sticker listed the tires as:
QGR P225/70R-15 S/B RAD W/LTR or Goodyear Eagle ST Steel Belted Radials. These were on the car when I found it 4 years ago. The second owner said they were original. I just replaced them 5 months ago with Firehawk Indy 500s. I am very happy with the performance.
