1/4" up to about 3/4" thin-line WW will look good with those P02's.

Sam's Club used to carry the BFG Radial T/A's. Their website shows them in the list; but they show "out of stock". Their price was around $130 per tire.

We're looking for cruising tires on our '77.

I'm pushing this back up: I just ordered Micky Thompson Sportsman (255/60/15 and 235/60/15 simply because they were the only ones I found which were in stock from a supplier (I live in Switzerland and have to import them). Anybody else using them? What's your take on them? So far I had General Grabber and Cooper Cobra and liked neither because of dreadful performance when streets are wet.

Thanks,
Martin
