Need some tire advise (slicks)
Now that I have my 69 Nova about finished, I'm thinking of some day 2 stuff I'd like to add.
One thing I'm looking into is cheater slicks.
I'm running the repro 15" X 7" SS wheels now, with G-60 Firestone Wide Ovals on all 4 corners. My plan is to get a set of 15 X 7 plain steel wheels, maybe painted white, and have a set of blackwall cheater slicks, that fit those wheels.
I'm having a hard time figuring out what tire will fit the wheels, and stay inside the wheel wells of the 69 Nova.
I guess what I need is a G-70-15 cheater slick, and I can't seem to be ably to find them. Cheater slicks to me are a flat bias ply tire, with 2 threads on the outside of the tire, about 2" from the tire edge, with black walls on both sides....no white walls.
Anyone have any ideas how I can make this happen. I don't want old tires that I can't trust. I'm thinking new tires. The new steelies are not a problem. I also don't want the car sticking up in the air in the back.
I've been thru a lot of web sites, like Coker, Kelsey, etc, looking for slicks, with no luck.
