Larry,
I still have the Quay car and finishing it is on hold.
I'm putting the "Red" Gen 3 back together with the V-6
Probably run SS/CX @ 3400 lbs and SS/BX in the 3,000 lb area.
Car is built over weight for SS/BX by more than 100 lbs.
That (weight) is the reason I bought the Quay car project.. Less weight..
If my health doesn't improve a bunch someone might have to finish it.

Yes, I have a set of Pheonix that were supposed to fit, but didn't.
The car was built a long time ago for a short tire.
• Brand: Phoenix
• Product Size: 13.0/31.0-15
• SKU: PH379
• GTIN UPC: 00842199101164
• Rim Diameter: 15
• Tread Width: 13.40
• Section Width (Actual): 15.00
• Overall Diameter: 30.60
• Circumference: 96"
• Recommended Rim Width: 12.00
I've been looking at these Hoosiers, but didn't want to buy another set that didn't fit.
18240 Hoosier 31. X 14.5 14" tread 31.2 cir 98" roll out 12-14 rim 16.5 section D05 compound
It is a shame I can't find a radial that size. They seem to be bigger or smaller. It would be nice if MT had a Pro Bracket radial between 94" and 100" and wider than 10"
I liked the stiff sidewall GY. The car was always hard on them @3400 and they worked well. The weight and tons of gear it take is a tire killer. It was always a fine balance of air pressure and converter hit. Really a shame GY quit that tire... Progress, Is that what they call it?? lol
