Opinion Please - tires

[gprimm]

I don't buy tires too often for my small block Monte, but I am in the mood. Currently white walls with the rally wheels.

 

I am considering RWL BFG T/A's, and General with OWL http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?...=4&i1_Qty=4

 

I like the symmetrical lettering (General on each side) and the OWL.

 

OPINIONS: 1). What would a Monte look like with Rally's and black walls??? I don't think I have ever seen that.

 

2). What do you think of the OWL Generals?

I like the smooth sidewals of the BFG RWL. The general ones have that "altimax" and stuff on it that I'm not fond of. I prefer the white letters over blackwalls.

I used to be a white letter guy now I am a blackwall guy. I had white letters on my rally's back in the day then switched to blackwalls...in this picture (the only picture I have) I have both on the car but they were temporary when I was swapping the drivetrain. I then switched to aftermarket wheels and blackwalls...well actually white letters facing in...

Oh wow, a set of Pro Tracs! Loved those. Racing profile or Indy profile. Kelly superchargers were also popular back in the day.

 

I vote for the raised white letters...the outlined white are harder to clean and just look too modern to me. I like the look of what the car might have been in the 70's. Call it old school.

Personally, I like the look of the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500. My buddy has them on his 77 Ventura (mostly drag), and he loves them. No personal experience though but again, I like the vintage look with the wings on the sidewall.

My next set of tires will be T/A's. I like the way they look, my Firestone Firehawks are old and the car was stored for a lot of years so they aren't exactly round anymore. Just waiting for enough 'green' to purchase them. My $.02.

I like the T/A's as well but have been toying with the idea of going to the original white wall look.

Seems the BFG T/A is still very popular on the old muscle cars, unless you go with bigger non stock wheels that's usually my choice!

I went with Mickey Thompsons on the back of mine

My vote goes for the BFG T/A's. To me they say "muscle car"

Go with Cooper Cobras... They're about 60 bucks cheaper per tire than the BFGs, and they ride great on mine. They seem to wear pretty evenly too, considering I have an open dif and like to spin them occasionally... I rotate them pretty regularly though, just because it's quick and I can do it when we're slow at work.

I went with the Generals. Delivered today and they are the right choice. For lighter colored cars like mine cottonwood green, I like the OWL. For darker colors I like the solid white; the contrast is really nice.
