Anyone have any pic's of the Rolling Bones cars running radials?

i run the Coker Cl***ics on both my Coupe and 32gals Roadster.........i drive a LOT...no problems and they are great on the So Cal freeways....i saw these same tires on a rolling Bones car recently.

 

nice car!!!:d

 

Wow! This thread got in the wind...

I saw this car in person at the round up a few years ago. That's when I shot the pic's. I don't remember those front tires though. I wonder what size they are?

 

These are going on my Low Buck 32 Fordor project that you've been following, so I'm trying to stay within scope of the build.

If they look good I won't change them...

Besides if I don't do things 3 or 4 times I feel like I'm just being lazy.

 

But doing thing over and over doesn't follow the low-buck build theme either. Follow da34guy's lead. He's built LOTS of killer cars with perfect stance on radials.

 

Im with you man. Radials + Hotrod = LAME. Ive put thousands of miles on my Firestones, no problems. Handles perfectly fine. I just don't get it.

 

Why is this a topic?? How are radial tires even considered TRADITIONAL equipment???? So you have to grab the wheel and drive a little more defensively, that's what hot rodding is all about. Want radials...buy a Cadillac with a couch seat and enjoy your radials.

 

Yep and ya can get 135's and 145;s for about the same $$$$$ (F560's)

 

Can U run a mix of bias and radials?

 

Am I taking a poll for opinions? If I have my young son with me and I need to replace a tire half way between Austin and the HAMB drags, it would be nice to whip in somewhere and be back on the road quick.

There are ways to be cool other than being "Mr ******** Bias Guy". Your car is killer and I wouldn't run anything but Bias on it, but that doesn't mean every car has to run them...

These look really promising. Thanks for he heads up...

 

I just pick up 2 - NEW 235/85r16's for $80 I found on craigslist. And boy are they nice & big & suprizingly quite narrow for being 235's.

They're going on a 31 coupe with 16"wires

 

The top pics are Michelin XPS RIB tires, designed for medium duty trucks, motorhomes, etc. They last FOREVER and are designed to be regrooved and recapped.

They are not exactly cheap. Transporter who does work for the dealerships I work for runs em, gets like 100k miles out of them and they are something like $300 each.

 

Good score.
Here's what they look like on a 7 inch wheel

 

I'm running the same Firestone Transforce HT 235/85/16's on my '40 Ford stake bed. I was looking for something to fill a lot of empty space.


(unmounted, fresh from the tire shop)

I'm running a p***enger car Firestone 215/70/15's up front, although I did find some 185/80/15's that I am thinking about swapping to.

Here's what they look like on the truck.



Tread width is about 7" on the back tires.

My decision was based on dollars and sense. It didn't make sense to spend the dollars on overly high priced tires, just to say it was traditional.

 

talk about BIG"n"Little's

 

What tires are on the front?

 

Had to add a drop axel. Sorry about the copper grille, it was the closest color match I had on deck.

 

they came with the rims. SCORE!!!! I'm going with them.

I bought this car for the rims. . . & . I guess to the chop out of my system. And a Y-Block out of my way.

 

Heres my cheap tire and wheel set up all 4 wheels are 16/4 bought at swapmeet front tires are 175/75/r16, 25 1/2 tall 5 1/2 wide, rears are 215/85/16, 30 1/2 tall 6 1/2 wide I buffed all letters and # off the sides for the smooth look

 

Thanks all for a good planning thread.

 

Do the front and rears have the same tread pattern? What brand are they?
They look good. How did you grind the lettering off?

 

4 1/2 side grinder 80 grit to start with, finsh up with DA. tred is close to the same front tires came of e-bay, rear tires are michilin

 

The hard part seems to be a short skinny 16" fronts in radial What manufacture make tire , tread and size are you running is that why guys are mixing 15" for fronts because not much to choose from for 16" ?

 

Did you use tubes in them,or did they seal OK?

Also,I checked tire rack and discount tire and they don't list a 175/75/16---are you sure thats what you have?

 

they seal good check e-bay for that size keep looking there out there. NO tubes

 

Can't locate that size anywhere????

 

saw 4 sets on e-bat 175 75 16
