Baby got new shoes!

Got a smokin deal on these. Probably because the rear tires are so large. I actually think I am going to get a shorter tire, if for no other reason than to have the speedo work correctly and see further than 50 ft with the low beams.

What do you think?

I've always liked the draglites, that actually looks like a good height tire for the strip to help with launch. Looks good

275/60/15. They are 28 inches tall. I am going to go with a 265/50/15 that is the same tread width, but 25.4 inches tall.

Never really like those rims either. Escpecially the front skinnies. I still kinda like the rear rims cause of the deep dish effect. Thats my opinion tho.

Nice! Motormenace from NATO (and this board I think) hooked my Cougar up with a set of those not too long ago. These types of wheels are my personal favorites on these cars, and are a breeze to clean!

The only drawback I can say is really fat rear tires, since they cause the back end to feel a little less stable during hard turning.
