TIRE RECOMMENDATIONS?

[TGI FORD]

Any tire brand and size recommendations on an authentic look but radial type ride for my 68 GT500KR Convertible?  It's a rebody and I've opted to go with a reproduction 10 spoke wheel because it's never going to be a true thoroughbred obviously.  I love the look of the bias ply's but those get a little dicey on my other cars with some of the roads I drive on.  I'd like to be a little wider on the back rims for practical traction reasons.

thanks, Don

No reason not to use BFG's

Agreed with Biggie. There's not a lot of selection in our stock sizes anymore, unless you go for the pricier bias-ply-look radials that Coker and others sell. 

For average driving, T/As are a good value and hold up well.  Not like the 1970s' versions of T/As that would hydroplane if there was more than 50% humidity in the air.

BFG are fine.

And you can get them lettered just about any way you want.

That looks really nice. Care to tell us your secrets on how you got the Goodyear and blue lines on an Avon tire?

Forum member @shelrace offers that service. Yes, those are shaved Cr6ZZ Avons.

I have not done it......yet. I am preoccupied with a project at the moment.

Sorry, I forgot Shelrace went back to @CSX2259.

He chimes in on the top of page 3 on this thread;

No, I live in San Antonio, TX.

thanks for all the recommendations.  I may end up going with the BFG's for now but the Avon solution is something I'm going to have to look into.

Just wish Avon had some wider choices in 14".
