They're slicks... how much street "driveability" are they really gonna have anyhow? For what you have in mind I think you'd be fine. My dad's Model A hot rod had M/T Pro Street bias plies on it with matching M/T fronts for years. He wore out the fronts and againt my advice he replaced them with a pair of radials. He claims it drives better than it ever did with bias plys all around. I know thats backwards compared to what you want to do, but again, I think you'll be fine, especially if they're brand new. I never had the guts to drive around too much on these oldies, but they sure did look cool. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

Earl, thats exactly the look I'm shooting for just like on your 69 Nova.. That looks AWESOME!! I'll have the black steelies w/slicks out back and the Cragar SS wheels up front on my 70 Nova SS...
Joe, love your look as well!! Very Cool.... Thanks for the tips/advice fellas... Rich |
Re: Question about Slicks....
There's nothing wrong with the Hurst re-caps and they're a great choice for budget-minded people. I'd hate to be admiring a great looking Day-2 street/strip or race car that has "UNIROYAL LAREDO" on the inside sidewall of the slicks when I look under the rear of it. That's the basic casing that Hurst uses on many of it's slicks. That, and I really don't want to risk the paint on a beautiful set of quarter panels, or even the quarter panels themselves of having a cap come off a tire and come whipping around over and over while still partially attached. I'm sure we all see tire caps on the highway all summer long from the big rigs.
