Unfortunately those babies are long gone and the polyglass. I keep seeing new ones but we certainly arent building them.
If a goodyear tire is built at Lawton Facility it will have a DOT number with M6 on the sidewall. Thats our location number. We barely even build tires with white lettering...
How big can you go on the rear with the factory Dana 60 and stock wheelhouses? I kind of like the look of ultralite or draglites. Id want as wide as I could fit without rubbing. And advice on wheel sets or tiresizes?
Exactly, the clocking of the adapter only accounts for the different sizes of speedo pinion so that they will actually mesh with the teeth on the output shaft, that's all...
Christmas Gift ideas:
1. Tire Air Change Kit. This kit comes with everything you need to change the air in your tires. This highly recommended but often overlooked maintenance item is much easier now. Remember to change your air every 3,000 miles or twice a year. $25
2. Blinker Fluid. You knew...
My spiffy keystones are 15x7 all around, 245/60/15 in the front, 255s in the back, they’re from 1984 and not quite as spiffy as they look in pictures, but the car isn’t perfect either so it works out. I wanted 15x8s or bigger with 275 or 295, but the eBay seller didn’t know how a tape measure...
My "spatial memory" recall tells me a P245-R15 on your wheels should be fine up front, but P255-R15 up front might rub. Do a fit check if possible. Also, a tire dealer might not recommend the P255 for a 7" wide wheel. I tend to agree; and that's why I went with 15x8.5 on my first B body.

I looked up available tires in the sizes I run on Fred on tirerack.com and only two
options came up - the aforementioned Coopers and BFG's.
As far as where each is manufactured:
BFG:
Cooper:
For those who can't see the details in the pics, they both indicate that their country of manufacture...
I can add a second on these. I have them on my 427 Cobra replica and they are a real nice street tire. They are essentially the same as the Cooper Cobra but I understand they have a slightly upgraded rubber formulation. At least that is what MT technical reps have reported but they are made...
...next 3wks or so. Once they're set going to get on rear-end. Figured first step before anything, measure, measure, measure. I'll know for sure what I have, what I need. This car will be driver only so tiresizes will be common, easy to source. Should be plenty of space for whatever combo happens.
...should definitely take it somewhere.
The Factory Service Manual gives you the basic procedures.
There is a lot to take into consideration when doing a proper alignment. Tiresizes, ride height, front to rear attitude, etc...Bump steer is very important as the front end rises during acceleration.
Not yet, but as I posted I plan on it, using the AMD tubs that they came out with relatively recently.
I have those 3 Roadrunner pix saved for years now because I LOVE the way "dat ***" looks!
So another factor in the "wheel and tire" equation is appearance, along with function that we have...
...to be able to swap back and forth as my “mood” and travels dictate. likely 17x8 all around, same 4.5 backspace as the 15’s. Staggered tiresizes, likely 255-50 front and 275-50 rear for the 17’s.
my question, will alignment change or need to be changed ? I have QA1 upper control arms, about...
