Cool Paging all Goodyear Billboard tire users/experts...

I believe many of us would agree that the big lettered ("Billboard") Goodyear bias ply racing tires absolutely look the best on our little cars (and in the right conditions, perform the best for a 15" diameter rim). I've been performing some research on these donuts, mostly looking at pictures here on CC and studying the size chart that can be found at Roger Kraus Racing.

Given the fact that not all Cobra bodies are alike (FIA vs 427, or FFR vs Contemporary vs SPF vs ERA vs Kirkham vs CSX, etc.), I understand that one particular tire will take on a better 'stance' than the same tire on a different car. That is where your pics would help a lot!

So purely from both an asthetics and performance standpoint:

1. What sizes are you using?
(i.e. 600-700-800 G7s vs. 'standard' 26.5x8/26.5x10 vs 27x11)
2. Which 'version' offers the best street vs track performance?
(again, G7s vs 'standard')

Thank you in advance for posting pics (or referencing your gallery) and imparting your knowledge onto my content depleted cerebrum.
