Coker has some radial that look like bias, but you'd never run them on a muscle car.

Sammy is right, these bias tires were good enough for years. I bet today's reproduction tires are better than they were back then. I'm not sure why there seems to be so much apprehension.

A wheel and tire change can really transform a car attitude. When I see cars running period tires and mag wheels- there is a real transformation in my mind. I find I'm not the only one who responds to those great looking square footprints. I think you'll enjoy the bias tires more than you realize.

Here is one of my favorite Nova's rocking a great upsized tire selection. Somehow these Nova's look great with 14 or 15" wheels.

Oh yea, and those are the Hurst wheels. You guys got me thinking about some Firestone Wide Ovals on Cragar SS.

Oh man, this would look killer on my Nova. The 15x7 Cragars I believe are 4.25 back spacing. I think that would fit well, my Nova has the factory 4 piston caliper discs. Man, that would stand the Nova up like old time muscle.

That's a great look with the RWL wide ovals. If you want to stand apart from the pack and go with a period-correct theme, make those wide ovals the 3/8&quot; pinstripe whitewall version. Looks good depending on the car. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]
