    By old school, what do yo mean??? Are you talking about lettered tires or redlines? For lettered tires definetly BF Goodrich's Radial T/A and for the redlines, there isnt any differences so choose whomever.

    I'm assuming you mean the solid white letter look. If that's the case, I can tell you your choices are fewer and fewer everyday.  :gripe: Look on a website of the tire dealers in your area to see what they have. Each dealer will probably have 1 at most.

    When you say old school......  my mind thinks of originality......  The picture of your car shows original look right down to the wheels........well these old Mopars had the small white letter goodyears on them...........old GMs had the same along with Firestone Wide O Ovals which look killer!!    However I dont know if Mopar used these.............these original style Goodyear tires will run you $100 plus each.....
     
    I think cars sell a little easier when you stick with a well detailed original style car.........however lots of owners like some individualism.........something customized to their tastes

    What about Firestone Firehawk Indy 500?  Same price as BF Goodrich's Radial T/A and Tirerack shows they have better performance.  thanks

    I know that you are going for the very original look but the tires on your car look awesome.
