Muscle car Tire Questions
I'm looking for tires for my sons 74 Camaro. I bought 15x8 1/2" centerline auto drag rear wheels and 14x6 centerline auto drag rear wheels. (I thought I had 15" fronts also, but they fell through. but I do have the 14") I bought arp 7/16-20 3" extended studs and open lug nuts. I'm after the old school look, like pic at the bottom.
my question is, are there some radials that have the same look as the Mickey Thompson L60 15s ? the L60 Rears are 27 1/2" tall and the fronts are mickey thompson sportsmans that are 26" tall. those mickey thompson ss indy profile get super stickey when they get hot. I'm wondering if theres any alternatives to the old bias ply tires ? something that equals the looks of the side walls & tread and the height of the ole bias ply. the mickey thompson L60s are $174.95ea at Summit
is there any thing like the mickey thompson ss indy profile that are 14 inch that are radials that are 26" tall for the front ?
or is there any other Bias Ply or Radial Tires that are equal to the mickey thompson ?
what do you guys like ? what are you guy running ?
I'm after the same look as my buddies 73 Z/28 Camaro
