    I hate dark tinted windows... Can't see anything in cars anymore...

    but at night, dark tint makes it harder to see, especially if it's near dusk and the approaching vehicle doesn't have lights on. and backing up? at night ya almost are doing it blind if your windows are mega-dark tint.. i'm fully on board with "let the driver suffer consequences" for lots of...

    I hate dark tinted windows... Can't see anything in cars anymore...

    here in FL, doing a UV ceramic clear tint on the front windshield makes a HUGE difference in interior heat on sunny days.

    Insurance

    i have hagerty for my 70gtx, insured for the $75k i paid for $750/yr with 100/300 uninsured motorist. good thing the motor is just a rebuild, not souped up and more HP as that would add to the premium. i'm about 40 min north of Tampa, FL. Just spent another $25k on suspension, distributor, few...

    best tire combo? 275/60/15 rear.. 235/60/15 looks short for front.

    indeed. hoping i just like the look with the 275 60's in back, and 255 60's up front. I wan the front up a bit higher, but with the 235 60's i have now, i'd have to raise car too much, and leave a lot of open front wheel well exposed. if i was to do it ALL over again, i'd get the 295 50s on 10"...

    best tire combo? 275/60/15 rear.. 235/60/15 looks short for front.

    they all look darn good! and i like the idea of having a couple sets of spare wheels with different sized tires on em to change it up on occasion. i'll likely do that vs selling some new BFG's for a mega loss just to unload ... and with the new leaf springs that brought the rear up, i don't...

    best tire combo? 275/60/15 rear.. 235/60/15 looks short for front.

    so have the shop ordering a pair of 255/60 15's for the front (replacing the 235/60s on there now in earlier photos) to go with the 275 60 rears on there in my earlier photos. love the wide fronts, like the G60 polyglass i took off that are basically 245 60 15's. The 255's will be tad wider and...

    FOR SALE Goodyear Polyglass G60 tires, $650 OBO all 4, pickup near Tampa

    totally understand the "no bump" policy, but i reduced the price significantly.. is even that considered a "bump" ? I've frequented various forums for years, typically a bump is when the poster simply posts "bump", or some insignificant character such as a "thumbs up" ..

    FOR SALE Goodyear Polyglass G60 tires, $650 OBO all 4, pickup near Tampa

    have 4 very good condition polyglass G60 tires that came on my 70 GTX that i purchased from Streetside Classics last year. not positive on date code as is different on these than newer tires i'm used to looking at. may be 9-10 yrs old but tons of tread and for bias-ply, they drove fine. (i don't...

    best tire combo? 275/60/15 rear.. 235/60/15 looks short for front.

    235 70 15's on front are for sure on short-list .. so i don't end up buying 4 new tires (just 2 fronts). seeing a lot of photos and video on the Vanguard motor sales page that have many of their mopars in past, sold with 235 70's on the front and 275 60's out back. will see. this combo would...

    best tire combo? 275/60/15 rear.. 235/60/15 looks short for front.

    when i was saying "bulge" (and maybe others mean it same way), i was meaning the wider the tread on the same rim, the tire tread and sidewall protrude out further from the rim.. can keep going, to a point. As you said, if within the mfgs accepted range, shouldn't be an issue. Personally, i'd...

    best tire combo? 275/60/15 rear.. 235/60/15 looks short for front.

    the tread looks good and flat on these 295 50s, and what PSI do you run.. have read some comments on other forums saying they have to go down to get tread to lay flat when using 8" rims ?? the sidewalls don''t look bad either on these 8" rims.. decisions !

    best tire combo? 275/60/15 rear.. 235/60/15 looks short for front.

    nice! the sidewalls don't bulge too much on those BFG's on 8" rims. Which FRONT TIRES do you have on there? 245 60? or even 255 60s'.. those look ideal to me.. somehow the sidewalls don't even bulge much more than the 295 50's on the back

    best tire combo? 275/60/15 rear.. 235/60/15 looks short for front.

    getting a bit spooked for the awesome 295 50's on my 8" rims.. it would "work" but not be ideal till i get 9" or ideally, 10" rims. to get my front looking better may just get the 245 60's up front or 225 70's.. and keep the 275 60's out back that are on the car. i added another 1.5 turs on the...

    best tire combo? 275/60/15 rear.. 235/60/15 looks short for front.

    cool.. and what psi do you run? i'm finding some comments on various forums that say on an 8" rim, these wider tires had to be run with a bit less psi to keep the centers of tread from wearing as fast.

    best tire combo? 275/60/15 rear.. 235/60/15 looks short for front.

    and your 295 50s are on stock-ish sized 15 x 8 wheels? about to pull trigger on 295 50s and most comments are saying they WILL work on 8" wheels. BFG site says they will fit on a rim width range from 8" to 10.5", but then says "measured rim" of 9.5" ? wonder what these 2 things mean..

    best tire combo? 275/60/15 rear.. 235/60/15 looks short for front.

    these are darn close, the 225 70 is .4" taller than the 255 60.. i'm likely going with 295 50 R, 245 60 F and they are the same heights. 26.6" tall . I just cruise around in this car, so compound grip isn't super important so went with they typical BFG radials. Was gonna keep the 275 60 rears...

    best tire combo? 275/60/15 rear.. 235/60/15 looks short for front.

    323 gears it appears based on what folks on this forum said before when i asked about mph vs my rpm, and that i had the stock height G60 gy plygls tires before.. Rims are 8" all around so I have a good choice of tire sizes available ! 440ci, single 4brl carb, mild cam, alum heads but mild from...
