Finally buying an extra set of rims to run regular street tires on my Valiant and looking for street radial tire suggestions. Looking for a radial in the 27" to 28" tall range to fit 7" wide rims. Have specific race tires, only need to be street driven.

Hope to find something that looks similar to my current M/T ET Radials in terms of sidewall shape and style.

THANKS

I replaced my BFG's with Indy 500's due to the poor traction of the BFG's.

it looks like you have 15" rims, you probally want P255/60R15 26.8" tall 10.2" wide or P235/60R15 26.1" tall 9.5" wide

A tire I use and sell alot is a Multi-Mile Grand Am GT, usally better price, lasts longer, handles just as good and I like the looks.

are you planning same size tire front and rear?

I never had a BFG radial T/A hook worth a damn. I like Cooper Cobras
