hi,
long time watcher from Australia with a tyre question
Is there much to be gained (or lost) from going from a 275/60R15(28") Hoosier to a 30x9 Radial ?
Bit less sixty foot , more MPH ?
Better footprint for traction ?
I have a 68 Satellite with a 440+0.055,TF727,5000 stall , 4.10 geared Strange 60 . Caltracs,Rancho rear shocks,QA1 front shocks . Average sixty is 1.52/3, best of 1.50. Car weighs 3657lbs with me in it .Ran 10.965@115 on the brakes on Saturday.Car is a daily driver street car .Car is foot braked , at least for the time being
Your cars are the nearest to how I like to run mine though I run Super Street , 11.00-12.99 DYO, no Stock /Super Stock like you here plus my wallet isn't that deep

Any thoughts appreciated
Tex
