Default Re: 15 inch tires on 70 Nova what size is best

I found that a 255 60 15 worked well on one of my old Novas.

Mark, I actually have 275-60-15 Diamond Back red lines now. Don't think you've seen it with them yet(?). They, too, might be "out of your budget", but they do fit pretty good. They are a little more "square" looking than the BFG's I used to have. Kinda like a bias-ply. They are Firestone Fire-Hawks. I know that I'm going to be at the Donut Shop on Saturday, May 9th. My brother is coming into town. Maybe we could meet up then??
Joe
P.S. I have a "Nova Annual" for you!!

I ran H70/14 RWL Goodyears on the back and E or F/70 14's on the front RWL. I don't think they are too expensive Mark. I know Don White has those type of tires in stock. The nylon thumpers with RWL look the best IMO.

I drove the Nova a little last week end after sitting for a few months. It still fires the moment you hit the key and idles perfectly. After buying a LS7 short block, headers and these wheels I am having second thoughts about changing anything. The car does nothing wrong and I am wondering why I want to change anything. I think I need to be like Rob and buy a second Nova and hot rod that. Rob when are we going to see more pictures of your blue Nova? Thanks everybody for the advise, you are the best.
