Re: Chuck's '83 TBird Reply #465 – April 24, 2024, 08:27:04 AM I don't put a ton of miles on the car, but I also have 3 other cars that can drive on any given day. Still, with the car choices and riding my bike to work 1-2 days a week, none of my cars get a bunch of miles put on them.With the interior built back out, and the car is now usable to haul kiddos around, it'll be driven more.Right now, I'm not inclined to pay a bunch of money on tires, so I'm probably going to use a set of the Falken Ziex 950's on it. I've used them on several vehicles. While I have no plans for snow/rain driving in this thing, it'll get driven in the cold if things are dry, and I have no need for another "summer" tire. Aside from the truck and her old Beetle, everything we drive gets performance all-seasons (V+ speed rating), as I hate squirmy tires. Quote Selected
Re: Chuck's '83 TBird Reply #466 – May 06, 2024, 06:39:31 PM Got the new tires in the other day and was able to get them swapped out today. Went with the Falkens I mentioned above, in a 245/45.A couple of pics of the rear suspension, as the lighting is better, not being in the garage.Ope.Old tires are old.Wheels cleaned up and ready to reinstall when I get another free moment this week.
