Agreed. Kinda ugly. lol. But they will stay. Especially now with the ugly white walls. 😝

I guess it's back to the good ole Uniroyals.....

my 70 came with Uniroyal G70 15's. At that time Uniroyal was not noted for having very good tires but between me and my buddy who bought the car off of me we 45,000 miles out of em

Reading these posts reminds me of when I still had the original thin single white sidewall Goodyear G70x15 tires on my 71. A friend of mine (His name is also Bruce) bought a new 71 SS 454 Monte Carlo, about 5 or 6 months after I got my Monte. Not that long after he got it, he bought new Michelin radial tires! The ride and control was so much better, I couldn't wait to get some for my Monte. Now someday when I need to replace the tires I have now, (Almost 8 years old) the hard part will probably be finding the single thin white stripe. I do still have the original spare tire in the trunk!

BFG makes a tire called silverstar. Right around 400 each. I wanted the thinner white wall for the 72 but not paying that. The ones I bought are about 1/8 inch wider. Close enough and saved 320 a tire.

Nexan AH5. Probably not the best tire but it will be out of date before it has any miles on it anyway. I got all 4 tires with mounting and balancing for 400 bucks. I gave them 100 tip. My customers love me. lol.

Tkx Dennis!!  I like the blue lines!!!   LOL

Dennis, that is the same tire brand I have.  My only complaint is how well they handle at higher speeds on a highway with a lot of curves.  She feels like they want to break free as I wind through those bends.

Thanks for the info. I’ll get it out and try them. I think I’ll probably have other issues so I don’t expect to hit them high speeds.

I finally got these wheels on the 1970 Monte. They look good. The sun didn’t cooperate with me when I was taking photos at the beach.

[cny first gen 71]

They look good, how's it running?

[Canuck]

So far running good. The engine has good power and doesn’t hesitate to go.

[Vaughn]

I think they look way better with the Misty Turquoise over the Classic Copper, but that just me.

[Marks71]

I like it!

[sbarnette]

Looks great Aaron!

The wheels look great, They should have been an option back in the day
