Tire Sizes

Now that there is a wheel post floating about, One of the huge decisions to the overall look of a car is the tire size. Post what size tires (front and rear) you are running and maybe even a thumbnail of your car from the side. New builders such as myself can sift through past posts/pics but seldom see the tire combinations used. Thanks...aaaand GO
 
275-60R-15 rear ...195-70R14 front

Planning on 185/65R15s for the front, and 255/70R15s on the rear
 
On my '27: 205/55/15 front; 275/60/17 rear:


On Dennis' '23: 185/75/14 front; 235/75/15 rear:


Dad's '27: 195/65/14 front; 275/60/15 rear:
 
I'm running 155/80x15 on the front and 285/70x15 on the rear.

Those are the size rears (Coker BF Goodrich Silvertowns) I will be using, I was looking at Hoosier Pro Street Radials for the front, which happen to come in a 25 x 7.5 x 15. Tread width is 5.3, PA has a min 5" tread width. I like the stance of that car!
 
6mm diameter, triple row.

Handling? depends how you drive it! respect helps a lot.
I guess the front wheels need to be on the ground to make a difference anyways, right? Lol... When I test drove my T, it had no brakes, and pulled the front wheels, that was a ride! It also sold me on the car.
 
Big on the back




n small on the front



Thats is 3" x 16" front and 18 x29 x 15 on the back

Ahhhhhhhh.....CLASSIC!
 
How ya been Gerry? Was across the big pond a little while ago....doing some racing stuff....England is such a cool country! Damn shame all the politians are trying to screw it up, too! Next time I'm over, we'll have to hit some pubs!
 
Back wheels are probably the one thing on the car that I REALLY get goosebumpy over. I love them to bits.

Had to make this to be able to get them off and on. Sorry about the welding.....bad day' but they work just fine.

Wow, there are some great looking cars in this thread.
I'm going for sports car type handling. I was given a C4 Corvette roller. It came with aftermarket aluminum wheels that are 9.5 by 17 inches. I'm planning to run 275r 40's all the way around.

Hoosier Pro-Street Radials, 31x16.50R-17 and 24x7.50R-15. Hoosier is the only source for big weenies to fit 17" wheels.
