Maybe should be 24 front 25 rear?
What works for a 2250 lb roadster?

I'm running 18.5 Rear and 22.0 Front.

I am running 25 in the front and 24 in the rear on my Kirkham. I have
the 42 gallon tank and try to keep it at least half full since I don't have
a gas gauge plus the extra weight helps with traction, not that I push it
that hard. Tire wear looks even. 30 does sound a bit high for such a
light weight.

Billboards on an ERA:



I am planning to repaint these with Ranger Tire paint. Does anyone know if this paint can be thinned and sprayed through an airbush? If so, what is the recipe for doing this? Thanks,

Not sure whether or not the Ranger paint can be thinned for spraying. The can I used was pretty thin from the start. I had to give them 3 coats to get a nice white coverage.

I have yet to drive with the tires. I had them balanced and installed on the car just about the time I began having heart problems, so I sort of lost interest in the tires. To make a long story short, it will be about a month until I can drive due to having a triple by-pass last week. Everything is cool now, just waiting for the days to wind by.

I have enjoyed keeping up with you guys about the BB group purchase. As I had previously posted I got in just after the group buy was finished. Jerry was kind enough to extend the same deal.

I currently have 26 lbs in the front and 25 in the rear. Thought that might be a good place to start.

Have any of you had much problem with the tires throwing pebbles up under the fenders (really hard) or chipping the front face of the rear fenders?

Keep the tire comments coming. Thanks, Bob

They can throw rocks hard enough to star the paint. Some have lined the inner fender well with a rubber material to prevent this. I used a gallon of Herculiner (Truck Bed Liner) to cover the inside of my fender wells. Seems to be working fine.

Hope you recover soon and can get back to enjoying your car.

how much did you lower your car after you installed the goodyear billboards? thanks

[ou812545]

I lowered the car 1/2" with the 15" Billboards. It was already lowered with 17" on it before lowering it further with the 15".
With a full tank and a passenger I have not had any rubbing issues.
