I'm going to be running 15 x 7 TTD on my '69 SS. I have made the decision to go with radial tires, as I just don't think I'll be able to get past the bad handling stories of bias ply that I've heard.

I was speaking to a salesman at Diamonback Classics yesterday, and was looking for possibly a drag radial out back ( that would still have a decent tread pattern on the street ). I also thought the redline would be a nice period touch.

The biggest size he could offer me was a BFG Drag Radial in 235/60/R15 which doesn't seem too big. The tread pattern on the M/T was not suitable for street driving.

For the fronts they offer Yokohama, 245/60/R15, which seemed OK.

I also understand that the regular run of the mill BFG Radial T/A all come in raised white letter. I like the RWL, just not on the wheels I'm going to be using. And I'm not a fan of turning the letters in, as that drives me batty when looking under the car.

Yes, I realize I'm being picky, but any suggestions are welcome.

They make a 275/60-15 Drag Radial which would look great And if you put like a 225/70-15 up front that would be a good combination. The Drag Radials are black wall so if you put a Comp T/A on the front there is no raised White Letters you will need to hide.

Thanks Dave. Does BFG still make Comp T/A?

I think they do,,,,When I worked at the tire shop as a manager a few years ago we put 225/70-15's on all of the police cars. I am not sure if they are dis-continued or not.

Just thought I would let you know that the BFG Comp Radial T/A 225-70/15 is not currently available.
I have tried numerous times in the last month to purchase two of these tires and finally called BFG customer service and I was told they were not making this tire at this time.
