Hooligan71 Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 I need new tires. Current 235/60/15 Indy 500's are dry-rotting on the sidewall. I am trying to decide between MT Sportsmen, Cooper Cobras, and Goodrich T/A's. Wheels are 7 inch stock rally. Any input on experience with these tires would be greatly appreciated. Also thinking of staggering to give the car a subtle rake(ex: a slightly wider 70 in the back). Any insight on fitment and look/profile by doing this or experience with different different sizes would also be greatly appreciated. I am not looking to modify the suspension. Please and thanks!

cny first gen 71 Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 I have Mickey Thompson ST on mine all the way around 235-60-15 on front 255-60-15 on the back. They are wearing good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montemedic Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 The BFG’s have a manufacturing issue with the white letters turning brown and their prices have taken a major increase. The Cooper Cobras are a comparable tire without white letter browning issues for a much better price. I currently run a 255-60-15 on 7 inch factory rally rims in the front and 275-60-15 on an 8 inch rally with 5 inch backspacing on my Monte SS. Factory height springs with no clearance issues. My 2 cents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jft69z Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 The Cooper's have a little bit higher speed rating too (if that matters - 'T' vs. 'S' ratings), but not by much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
