    Drag Radials in the rain?

    I say NO if you like the car and yourself. While they are DOT legal, that doesnt mean you should run them on the street during wet weather. Tread and sipes exist on a tire for one reason-wet weather traction. This tire was not designed for wet weather so if you are in the rain running 60...

    Tired tires

    As suggested, go to a radial tire. The 165r15 is 25.4 inches diameter with a 6.5 inch section width so it is close to what you have now and is available in a radial which isnt prone to the dreaded flat spot of bias tires. Bias tires flatten out under the weight and once you drive it they...

    15x8 Rear Wheel on a stock 65 Barracuda ??

    I just bought a set of 15x8 to go on my 66 Valiant. They have 255/60r15 on them and I am going to see if they fit without scrubbing. It does all depend on the backspacing and springs. I have some springs I bought from a guy who had them on a street car he raced but I have NO clue what they...

    I think several people are making that style wheel now. Look on Summit racings website. American Eagle makes a similar one. http://aewheel.com/eagle_alloy_wheels.cfm?id=11 I like that look too. It is what I plan to put on the Valiant.
