Tires...Tires...Tires?

[TrailBeast]

I am running 245/40 series 18’s on the back, and 225/40 17’s up front on Ridler spokes with Nitto Neo Gen Z rated tires. (180mph continuous rated)
The Neo Gen has a design with more rubber on the outer 1/3 of the tread surface.
Very sticky tires, and surprising amount of traction in the rain.

Have any of you guys tried a more expensive Michelin or other tire on your classic?
I know on my daily drivers they make a world of difference.
I wonder if they would help the 50 year old suspension technology of our Classics?

A good A body Suspension is a great street suspension. I've been running radials since they came out. The 74 Dart is running Michelins, they are a great cruising tire. The 66 Formula S runs Dunlop Direzza 205/50R15, https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tire...&sidewall=Blackwall&partnum=05VR5Z3&tab=Sizes . Both cars are basic factory HP suspensions that ride and handle very well.
