I have a 69 coupe that I am getting ready to put new tires on. Currently it has BFG TA'S. No power steering. Tracks bad in hiway ruts. All new suspension and steering components. Any suggestions on what type and size tires will work well on this car?

If you're using stock size wheels, I'd go w/ BFG Radial T/A's. I'll be using size 245/60R15 until I get my 17 inch TT II's. artyon:

It rained this morning. Took it out anyway. Had to go help the club clean up our section of hiway. IT'S A NEW CAR!!!!!!!! Drives totaly different. I was going to put in power steering, but it drives so well I'm not going to. I can't believe the diffence new tires made. It even sticks to the road when it's pouring down rain.
