Re: Bias ply tire siZe for my 15x4 cragar as
I understand the rollout advantage of a taller tire, but I'm also trying to put together a sharp looking car. My rears are going to be 27.2" tall, and I don't think it would look very good to have front tires that are noticeably taller than the rears. Moroso 7.10-15s (about 27.7" tall) look good on some cars, but those cars probably have 29" tall slicks on the back. I currently have 26" tall tires on the front, and I know I don't want to go smaller. My Nova is inexplicably heavy - close to 2000lbs on the nose with me in it, so the tires have to have a pretty good load rating. The US Royals and the M&Hs both have good load ratings and are about the right size. As a racer, the obvious choice is... the Hoosier 18106. It's the right size AND it's cheaper and lighter, but it really doesn't look right. The question is which tire has the better balance between looks and performance, the M&H or the US Royal? Do I dare go 118+ mph on the latter?
