Default New Shoes Today For The '65

Got the wheels and tires today. Glad to get the 1994 GY Eagles off. Car rides so much better and sure footed. Sure like the way it looks now.

Now got to get old Turbines cleaned and polished to get ready for the Mickey's to have a second set to switch to when I want.

Always liked the look of the BFG Radial TAs with the raised white letters.

That's a sweet looking car and I think the TA's are great tires too.

I really like the look, especially with the subtle flares on your car. God save us all if BFG ever stops making Radial T/A's.

Here is a pic when I picked it up......

Love the look of the Turbines as well.....that why I am keeping them and putting tires on also. Some of you saw my other thread...the Eagles on it were made in 1994. They were like a rock and no traction at all.

I would love to put a set of Eagles back on but at over $300 each you have to really WANT THEM....but in my opinion ( for what it's worth) light color cars really stand out with Raised White Letters that are outlined.
