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.
