I am lowering my 49 and was wondering about tire size for my Ford. What are people running, with similar setups. Your help is greatly appreciated.
i'm probably going to run the bias ply, as they have a bigger whitewall...it sounds as though i will be compromising ride quality...thx for your suggestions... Darren
I run 670-14s. Solved all My old tire rubbing problems. But these old Bias plys are coming OFF !! The car handles like SHIT on the Freeway. Unless Im on a new flat asphalt road with no grooves and separation lines, THEY SUCK. And Yes, I have a complete Fatman dropped spindle kit with tierods-Volvo box-Jamco springs and shocks. Then I took it to a reputable alignment shop. Do yourself a favor and get radials. My 49 Merc has the origional frontend parts. We had to heat everywhere there was a zirc so it would take grease. I put radials on it and it cruises at 80 all day long. FEDER
I had bias ply tires on mine when I bought it. The car changed lanes on me once and I was wtf? I put radials on it and man it was like I rebuilt everything on it.
