Tire choice

[500/600]

my plan worked perfectly HAHAHA
But seriously. Thanks for the compliment, but it's just an '85 Limited.
It's essentially morphing into how I would have ordered a T Type in 1985, if I could have. Stout Buick 350, 200r4 (soon), and the GN rear end. And the wheels, and steering wheel of course.

The turbine wheels were a natural on these cars. Of course I grew up in the Dukes of Hazzard days.

I have had 275/60’s on the rear of my 80 Malibu. At 32lbs they rubbed very very little but at 36lbs they did not

245/60-15 is a ridiculously large tire on the front of anything other than a pickup truck.

Trying to decide what size tires I should run on a stock set of 15x7 442 rallys? I want thinner up front and wide in the rear. As wide a tire I can fit on the rear. I've read through some of the post here, I didn't see anything about a good size for the front. 255/60 is what I'm seeing for the rear. Please add your advice and experience with this. I dont know anything about it, other than what I'm reading.

I have P225/R6015 on the front of my 87 Olds Cutlass Supreme with 2" drop spindle and 255/60/15 on the rear with no problem at all. Hope this helps.

I used to have p235 70r14 all the way around and it drives and handles way better with the 15" 60 series tires on the front you will be happy with them.
