BF Goodrich radial T/A, Cooper Cobra GT, Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires

I bought my Mickey Thompson's (245/60-15) from Summit for $109 each with free shipping. Watch Summit, they have good sales & free shipping sometimes.

 

Ooooh, I like that. I like the nostalgia of the MT. that seems like a good price.

68-69's look best with whitewalls

 

Ive had coopers on my 68 since the late 90s. Absolutely love them. I dont have much to compare to since its all ive ran but Im not gonna change it up since they've done me well. Great tire in my opinion. 245/60/15

I have been looking at the Cooper's as well for my '66 since they are much cheaper than the BFG's and everyone seems to like them. But eventually I will want to put Red Lines on the car and will go with the BFG Silvertown Radials. They are a Coker tire from what I can find, but you can get them through Summit much cheaper since they have Free Shipping. Still freaking expensive, but man they look good. So as soon as I am less likely to burn the tires down at every possible chance I may make the switch.

 

Where did you get the dual white stripe radials??? I want those badly for my car!!!!!!

 

Man i love the white walls on buick rallys look. Especially on a 64 65 skylark

decided on Coopers 235/60/15 on 8.5 Buick ralley wheels that lowered the car 1". now I have only2"of clearance with my MT headers.love the looks of the deep ralley wheels. I put 40 lbs in my Coopers.Ken

get the redlines. they would look hot with the red on the gs badge and the gills would really set it off

 

I agree 100%..... Debating the $250 price tag per tire for a 255/60/15 for that big redline.

If you go through Diamondback you can choose T/A's or Coopers. Expensive, but they are really nice.

They made my dual whitewalls to my specs (Spacing/size of lines) I matched my original spare

Put 215/70/15's up front and 255/60/15's in the rear.

At that price you think twice about lighting them up :3gears:

Redlines with a red pin stripe would really look sharp (Ya, I know it's a 68).

 

Interestingly, Cooper Cobras in 255/60/15 are ten bucks cheaper at Discount Tire ($105.-) vs. 245/60/15 ($115.-) in the Mpls. area.

Alluded to a little before, but I pose the question: anybody with experience of 255/60/15 on the front end of their '68-'72 A-body? Any fitment issues found?

 

I had 255/60-15's on the front of my 1971 Stage 1. They would rub at full lock, especially on uneven pavement. When they would rub, I would just back off of full lock a little. Since I rarely drove at "full lock", it really was not an issue. I also ran them on the front of my 1969 SS396 Chevelle with no problems.

 

What did they rub on Mike? The fender? Something else?

 

Will 68-69 front be different than 70-72 like it is for the rear?
