    No, No wide whites. I stuck to black because

    a- they, to me, look more "hotrod" as opposed to "streetrod".

    b- everyone else run white walls, so I wanted to do something a bit different

    c- It is unlikely that Johnny Callaway, who raced every saturday at Saugus and did a lot of street racing would run white walls, he would have been going through tires like crazy and it would get too expensive for him, hence the black wall tires choice for him.

    PRESSURE IS CURRENTLY 30PSI. Can't remember what pressure I had in my radials... (old age will do that to you) and probably didn't check it often enough anyways. heck, for as long as they smoked, I was happy

    Even without the wide whites, yours looks damn good to me. You were probably running 32 - 35 lbs in the radials as most do. 30 should be a good match for the bias ply.

    Thanks for the report. This should put some people's minds to rest who are thinking about using them. As I have said, bias plys are all I have ever bought, and probably ever will buy.

    Very good feedback Faith.
