Very nice, did you notice if they throw up a lot of debris?

Alot of debris is the understatement of the year. I read on here that someone noted the stones these things throw. I live a mile back on a dirt road. The old bfgs would throw an occasional stone but i could drive out in second at low rpm.
The new Billboards were throwing sand up immediately, and the stones were horrible. I had to putt out at 1000 rpm in first and there were still stones flying. Coming back home was worse 'cause the tires were hot.
Im looking for a rubbery undercoating to spray on underneight. The 3M undercoating turns rock hard. Ive seen a bedliner material that was still rubbery and would absorb some impact. Dont know what product it was. |

order some 1/4 inch neoprene sheeting from EBAY( look under sound deadener) cut to fit and glue under fenders, works better than any undercoating.

I did the bedliner and the liners in the wheel wells. Of course I do not have it back yet so I cant tell you how they work

Fred
Fronts are 26.5X8.0-15
Rears are 26.5X10.0-15
Bias Ply, non DOT
I dont know the speed rating but im sure its way faster than what i drive it at.
First impressions were:
That they were not as smooth as the radials, which is typical.
Steering became razor sharp. Could be different tire pressures. They had the front at 35 psi. Rears were at 30 psi. These pressures seem high?
Felt more of vibrations like unbalance tires at certian speeds. Tires felt like the were hard as in too much air pressure. I dropped the front to 30psi and will try that.
No noise difference.
They are definitely stickier for traction than the BFGs which are pretty hard compound.
They do pick up everything on the road, even the sand.
I bought them for the look and traction. I didnt expect to have to line my wheel wells with foam, but i will have to before i get any damage.
Overall im happy and got the look i wanted.

Do those new tires have a tread or are they slick? And did you buy them at a local domestic type tire shop or do you have to go through a specialty type shop? Also worth a mention is my Classic Roadster has a secondary fiberglass panel inside the wheelwell. Any type of debris thrown up by the tires would not be in contact with the bottom of the painted surface. I think they look great on your car. John

One more thing I forgot to mention. Tire pressure should probably be more like 25 lbs. In a recent thread someone mentioned 1 pound for every 100lbs of car as a general rule. I run the BFG's at 28 front 25 rear. John

Thanks John
They have tread, not slicks. I got them from Roger Kraus Racing www.rogerkrausracing.com
