    Really good guys to deal with.

    My son stopped by for me and took this pic.
    Can't wait to get home and get 'em mounted..........also I think I'll go ahead and order up
    the chrome reverse to mount 'em on.



    Yeah......they're supposed to be about 1/2" taller.
    The cheater slick is more square off......opposed to the radial.
    Got plenty of room in the fender well......and more is better.

            SWEET! They look perfect. Looks like more than 1/2" ... more like 1"... Did you black mark the front of the house in celebration?

              Interesting how they marked "back side" on it. Is there a tread pattern or another reason? Field car, Ha Ha!

                  From Towel City Tire:


                  Yes just mount the tire to reflect the "back" or "inside" facing inside on the car. This is because some casings were originally white letter tires and we always want that side facing in so the white rubber isn't visible.

                  Thanks

                          Looks great!

                          the question is....do they hook?

                              They're definitely taller..........also they are more squared off as opposed to the M/T's.
