    I've always liked the B.F. Goodrich 5.50x17 fronts with 7.50x17 rears...

    This '34 coupe has this combination. Hope that helps...

    Firestone makes a 750-17 that looks pretty good.

    the reason you haven't seen them is that they are 10 ply truck tires...the sidewalls are so stiff, you could probably run them with 3 pounds of air and they'd still ride rough. :D

    I also run 17's all around. 750-truck tires on the back, and it rides like a truck with 8-ply truck tires......rough.
