Boyd Coddington 5 Spoke polished wheels wrapped in BFG Radial T/A  235/60/15's on my 83' Cat.

Great tires.    Not a single complaint.
To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

]Ralph Waldo Emerson

dont feel bad with the goofy tires, my 88 has 215/70 in the rear and 205/65 in the front lol but they were all laying in either my shed on my uncles shed and the car needed tires badly. Will be getting 225/60 for front and like a 255/50 for the rears.

:evilgrin: well, that still isn't as bad as the set-up I had....
had 275/60/15 tires on the back for awhile, and any driving whatsoever, I couldn't keep the  car straight, dunno whether the bad struts up front were to blame, with the camber angle being thrown off (even more), or the sidewalls on them thar truck tires on the back...
they were BFG radial T/A's...
but man, i had to get them off the car, before I wrecked or got a ticket!
I've since got new struts on the front, and she handles worlds better, and doesn't bounce the tires off the road any more either.
