Tires look good! I went with a 165/80 on my 15x4s recently, 185/65 in the past and can't tell much of a difference . Count me in for the burnout video of skinnys in the rear!
Yeah for looks I’m looking at a 195/75-15 for the front of my chevelle. Ran a 205/70-15 on my Malibu, but at the least is you cut rollout down on a slow reacting car so it may help on the tree.not a lot has gone on in the last few weeks. We have had a lot going on in life that has been keeping me from working on it. Few house projects got done atleast
So I’ve been collecting parts, new rad, rad cap upper and lower hoses, different alt mount, gauges so I can keep an eye on the vitals, correct flex plate, carb studs, front tires, picked up a set of tall aluminum Chevrolet valve covers off market place, need to be cleaned up and painted but they were cheap! and I fell like I’m missing some stuff but those all came in,
im verry behind my personal goal of having it running and driving by this weekend and I don’t see that happening unfortunately but life will do that to a guy.
but tonight I got the front tires mounted and “balanced”(balance beads)
I couldn’t imagine trying to do a wider tire on the wheel it was bad enough trying to get a 185 on a 4 inch wheel but using tire spoons and doing it at home is a lot different than using a machine
also checked valve spring pressure to make sure I’m not going to kill the cam when breaking it in
after mounting I realized I wish I would have went up a size or two to get a little more sidewall. These are 185/60r15 on a 15x4 kind of wishing I would have went with a 185/65 or 70
these are a 23.7in tire and a 65 would be 24.5 and 70 would have been a 25.2
but ya live ya learn they were cheap and I’ll run them till they are gone or I’ll toss em on the back and burn em off at the end of the season

I was kind of thinking that aswell, either the kid is going to kill the tree or be red a lot until he gets the hang of it. Last year we had almost a 27in tire on the frontYeah for looks I’m looking at a 195/75-15 for the front of my chevelle.

it was deffiniatly repainted at some point looks like it was dark blue possibly 2tone with silver,Such a sweet ride and in amazing condition. Almost never see them anymore around my area. That's one "fortunate son" to coin an old song lyric, keep up the hard work and enjoy the attention and stories you'll no doubt hear from people about when those were everywhere and how much fun people had with them. Gotta love a car that can haul..........and eventually haul A$$! I look forward to seeing the progress on this one for sure.
