Time to get a set of tires for my '71 Demon 340 project. Using the original 14" sbp ralleye wheels. The car used to have 245-60-14 on the rear and looked awesome, but the only tire I've found in that size is the BFG T/A. I've heard the white letters turn brown on them bad, so I'm a lil leary of getting those. Leaning towards a 235-60 Cooper Cobra, but I kinda want to go skinnier up front...possibly 215-70. 100% sure I want a raised white letter tire. Never cared for blackwalls w/ ralleye wheels.
I'd like to see pics of what yall are using. Thanks!

Thanks yall. I'm thinking of just putting 235-60 Coopers at all 4 corners now. I really wanted the fatter 245-60 BFG, but it'll really disappoint me if they turn brown.

15" does have a much better selection, but I'm sticking w/ the original 14" on this car.
