I'm guilty of pricing a kit with the cheapest tires available to try and get approval form my wife. She's smarter than that though. I guess when it comes down to it, and you really want to get a car on the road, one might sacrifice the tire choice, but I recall seeing an original 427 Cobra on ebay last winter with $500 worth of rubber on it. That's pretty cheap.

I thought the "Billboards" were not DOT approved, if that is true, I'm guessing it's because of wet traction (with out a top on the car I'm guessing it doesn't matter much). I love the looks of them for sure. I'll check out the Avon's as well.

Thanks
