Just what I wanted to know. Now I'm positive about the 700-18. Tell your husband, I love his car. Thanks, Magnus
My roadster, not in the above pics, has 550-18 fronts (Firestone) and 700-18 rears (some off-brand called Specialty Tires of America). The fronts are 28.5" and the rears are 32.5". It took a little getting used to at first but they grew on me and now (2 years and 10,000 miles later) they look perfect - like they belong there and the old 16" kelseys should just find a new home (like on my truck). And they made it possible to finally blend in with So-Cal freeway traffic.
Great car your old man drives, didn't I see you running up and down the Oregon coast last summer in a little red roadster? chuck

The gray 28 roadster is Bruce Donelan's. The front tires are 18" Firestone implement tires (25mph babies), $50 each if you can find them. The rears are 700/18 Lester cl***ic car tires. He bought a sprint car grooving iron from Speedway and cut grooves in the treads.
