Faith,
It looks like you went with Firestones and they look great. Which ones are they and what size?
Thanks,
Jim

The bias plies helped the look of your car 100%. I'm guessing Firestone Deluxe Champion 560-15s up front and 820-15's in the rear? PS.. why is your coil mounted on a 45 degree angle instead of vertically?

Firestones, Joey almost nailed it:

FRONT: 5.60-15
REAR: 7.50-16

Yep, I went for a 15 front / 16 rear combo.

Good choice. That's what I suggested to you 3-4 months ago.

Compare the pics of your car now to when it had radials and I bet it makes ya wonder why you waited this long to switch...I know that's how i felt... i don't even like looking at the old pics of my car with the fatty radials on it anymore. The 16's in the rear look good... I almost went that route, thinking now maybe I should have. I already had to buy yet another pair of front wheels though, as my current ones aren't going to clear the finned Buick drums of the So Cal brake kit that just arrived on my doorstep. This shiny stuff can get expensive!
