Hi all,
need some new tires for my '55 Stude. I'm currently running 15x7" Jaguar wheels on it, they have 205/70 Michelins that are well overdue for replacement (but the wheels and tires were $100 for all so I can't complain too much.) I don't think I can go with any wider of a tire without possible fender clearance problems, however, I'd like as TALL a tire as I could fit, as the stock 6.70s were much taller and the car is geared accordingly.
I'm thinking I'm pretty much stuck with a 205/70 as there seems to be nothing even remotely performance oriented available in a 75 series or higher. After looking on the Tire Rack the Firestone Indy 500 seems like a good option, anything else I should consider? BFG T/A?
thanks,
nate
