Tire choice for 1962 Belair , radial
 

Which would be better for a 1962 Chev Belair ?
Hoosier 30x9R15 (liteweight)#18209
Hoosier 30x9R15 #18210
MT 29.5x9R15 #3058R
Currently only has 8"rims but wider are in the future , 9" don't think a 10" will fit easily
Car is around 3900lbs , footbrake and transbrake use . I would like to see more tbrake use . Currently uses #18209 tires but certainly not getting a lot of passes would like a little more life . Does the #18210 have a stiffer sidewall ?
Motor is a 409W stroked to 480
This is to help a mate out
thanks,


Tex

Take time to look at the Goodyear 4457 post. 200 runs is what I get, with a best 60' of 1.29, in a 3400# car.

thanks Larry .
will have to see if available here in Australia - and the price . We are currently paying Aus$374.00 for the Hoosier - each
