Default Tires what kind ????????

All the opinions I can get, going to put some new rubber on my stock 69 350/350, non aggressive driving, going to stay with 225/60-15s. Price does not really come into play, BF Goodrich TAs or Goodyear eagles ???. White lettering will be outside this time around, opinions on lettering also, you know letter sizing and spacing, what will look the best and of course handling.

From what I have read on CF and on tires.com, etc., the Firestone Indy gets the best rating for ride quality, etc. I plan on replacing my 225/60 BF Goodrich with the Firestone Indy 255/60 this spring. The 255/60 should not rub, from what I have read. You might as well replace them with the largest tire you can fit in the fenders. The 255/60 look great on the stingrays.
