Skinnies tire size

[67MPRFAN]

This is a 28 inch tall tire, it's my 67 Plymouth

I thinking of going to a smaller tire because of what's been mentioned, my reaction times are horrible unless I go deep, I even tried 45 psi and still someone knocked on my window and said go

So, weld racing prostars 15x4 has either 1.875 or 2.5 inch back spacing.
Which bs do you think would fit the 64 the best, both functional and esthetic.
Stock front suspension and breaks.
(Might go with disc brakes in the future)

My preference is the 1.875

Shorter tires can help (got 25s on my 62 at the moment) but they aren't a cure-all (but you knew that).
The 25s look kinda silly, but gotta do what works, sometimes.
22.5s looked okay on my Tina, cause of the tiny front wheelwells, and helped with slow reaction times, (by the driver, not the car).

Just curious. Have you weighed the prostars verses the steelies?
My slicks and skinnies on centerlines are about 80 lbs lighter than the street t/a's on steelies.

 

[kjalltrac]

Yes, 92.4 lbs lighter than the steelies and radials.

Pro-stars look great, good choices & decent stance too

looks like you went with the taller tires (28" ?)

Good luck,
get some seat time, go test & figure out how shallow
or how deep you can go, with the set you have
it will help, you understand how it works & how it effects
(your specific combo/car & tires) the ET & reaction times too
keep a log of what you do, it will help for future references
track to track

I don't like the look of the front tires being too tall,
in relation to the diam. of the rear tires, rear needs to significantly larger diam.
have a nice rake
It's just a personal peeve of mine, not set in stone

Thanks,
Yes 28" front runners makes the rear 28x10.5" tires look small.
