The G7's are the best handling bias ply tire for track work. They are the Blue Streak Sports Car Specials. They are NOT for anything remotely wet. The "chicken scratch" tread is the closest thing to a slick that you will find, and when warm they will pick up stones. But they are what all the Vintage Trans am cars utilize and he FIA Cobras are running in the Historic/Vintage classes (may be required?) They do not like uneven tarmac and will get a little "darty" if the road is irregular. Otherwise they are the "Cat's Meow".
6:00 15's are universally used for the fronts on 289 FIA and the 427's, with 700:15 rears for FIA and 800:15 use on wider rear 427's.
