Are the old style BFG drag radials gone for good? All I see in the Summit catalog are the newer G-force versions. tongue.gif

It's available in either pattern that you want, that lower tread pattern is only for low profile tires.

Dude these are cool. Tire, G-Force T/A Drag, 275/60/15, Radial, DOT Approved, Blackwall

Will they fit under 1970 Malibu with without any modification? ( I know this is at tire question)

I run 275/60/15 Radial T/A (NOT DRAG), on stock Corvette-style rally wheels on the back of my 1970 Malibu.

No body modifications. Stock/Replacement coil springs, all new bushings and Monroe sens-a-track (stock replacement also) shocks.

No rubbing at all.

Dear Slowpoke 70,
I tried to see your car but something failed at my end. Please send photo to ryanpope1046@yahoo.com

Mine is forest green with pearl white interior, all redone. However, I only have stock 1970 wheel covers on 14" wheels.
