Default New rubber!

Just got my new BFG 255's!

Thought about redline but I think the white letter tires look good on the 76's.

Those are THE classic muscle car tire in my opinion. I love the look of them. I have them on mine too. They look great on your car.

That was my first choice of tire when I put new shoes on my '81 back in October. Everywhere I looked both locally and online were backordered on the 255's. So I opted for the Goodyear Eagle. Not a bad tire, but the BFGoodrich looks better in my opinion.
