This is my SPF with the 26x10 on front and 28x12 on the rear. Rears are very close but haven't been a problem with about 3000 miles on them.

Well after looking at many different tires I finally decided on and ordered Mickey Thomson Sportsman S/R tires.
Front tires---26/10/15 which are about 1" shorter and the same width as the 255-60-15.
Rear tires----28/12/15 which are the exact same hight but 1" wider then the 275-60-15.

Anyone want to buy some like brand new 14 year old tires?

Ratty tat tat, Let us know how you like the MT Sportman's SRs. I've certainly been pleased with my MT Drag Radials. I'm on my second set but I may just hold on to them for the strip and put something with a Leetle more tread for street use.

[DWRAT]

Perfect,
Just what I wanted.
Rears-28-12-15 are a tad bit taller then the 275s and 1" wider.
Fronts-26-10-15 are about 1" shorter but the same width as the 255s.

There on and fit well.
Thanks for all the helps guys.

BTW, does it look like my safty wire is installed correctly?

[DWRAT]

Here's a better picture of the safty wire, does it look OK?

If that is the driver's side, Looks fine. Mirror image on passenger side. Those tire treads look real sticky. Enjoy.

Yep, correct for driver side. Passenger side should be opposite direction. Surprising how many get that wrong. Enjoy the SRs, great street tire.

Tested out the tires this morning and they did very well.
They stick extremely well at 20 psi, I fell like I'm gonna break something in the drive train now.
First tank of fuel ran through it and it only got 10 mpg so far.
Hopefully on the road it will do better.

Dan, 10MPG is good for a real Cobra Motor.. Anything more than that and, with a few exceptions, you're pretending..

(That should raise a few eyebrows!)

[mikiec]

I'm pretending.

[Scotchman]

My eyebrows are raised ! I'm getting 23 mpg on our trips, and haven't had the motor out in 6 years. Does that raise your eyebrows Dan ? I might not win any drag races, heck, I haven't even been in one yet !
