Pro Touring 10K

It is surprising to me how few selections there are for a wide tire in a 27"+ diameter. I searched high and low for a 28" diameter tire that was about 12" wide. The only choices you have are a drag radial which is not exactly what I had in mind. I even contacted BFG to inquire about tires in that size (and I received no help ) and apparently the size I did end up with (285-40-18 = 27" x 11.2") has been discontinued. Don't 60's & 70's muscle cars need a taller wide tire?

I am hearing from the locals here that the cops are cracking down on DOT drag radials and the judges are going along with it. These guys are desperate for moolah, so anyhosw a word to the wise... be sure the local gendarms are not doing the same there.

Nice project.
