I really feel dumb here? Does Day 2-ing mean that old school retro look? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

Dan don't take this in the wrong way but you have already made the wrong choice in a "day 2" modification on your car. Radial tires defeat the whole concept and don't look right IMO especially if they are a modern white lettered design like the BFG TA's. Go with vintage repop M/T's, Pro Trac's, or even Goodyears. They can be bought through Summitt racing for the M/T or Coker for the Pro Tracs. All that BS about them having a crappy ride is not true. I have been driving with the M/T's on back and Wide Ovals on front for thousands of miles and they are fine. If you are going to do it do it right. Just my humble opinion.

Thanks. That's kind of my plans for my 67 RS.
I need some period bias-ply tires though. However, I do already have glasspacks. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]
