    Here's mine.

    I've ran tires as wide as 33x21.5x15. Never again.

    The last 6 are more what I was looking for. Man, I really DIG that look! I have to decide how wide of tire looks good (since my car is not tubbed) without looking weird.

    Steve's 32- How wide are those on your car? 12.5?

    Does anyone want to guess the sizes on the All black car (drivers ed) on door and the black one (Tudor?) with yellow flames?

    Hi Bucs,
    The tires on the rear of the tudor with the yellow flames appear to be Hoosier Pro Street radials size 31 x 16.5 x 15. The section width would be 16 inches with a tread width of 12.8 inches of rubber laying on the ground. I run Hoosier Pro Street radials on my fendered roadster, but mine are the 29 x 15.5 x 15 with a 15.2 section width and a 12.1 tread width. I like mine and they are wearing even.

    Styling Z- The 29x15.5x15's are the ones I am looking hard at! Do you have pics of your car with them on it? I have measured and I can fit them if I go up to a 15x12 rim with 5" backspace and my calipers will clear. This will also still leave me 2" for tire section width to body play.

    Yellow72 those tires look very familiar in your first picture.

    30x12x15's on the rear- on a 10" wide wheel.
    Took off much wider Hoosiers because they were too noisy at freeway speed. The MT Sportsman SR radials are much quieter.
