Thanks for the update on these Bill. I checked this page just yesterday as I was hoping to hear more since I was on the fence about a set of them myself. They look much better mounted up and all. Now get that back healed up.

----I really hope Corky got these good looking tires right, as other radials that Coker has done were abysmal as far as any kind of performance driving. I'm not knocking him as I'm sure he has to jump thru a lot of hoops, but we guys occasionally drive our cars hard and some of his radial attempts have fallen short, in my opinion.......Bill s

Looks real good Bill. Thanks for sharing. I'm a big proponent of putting radials on the non-show cars/drivers. This helps bridge the gap. I have one order to place for these tires now and likely will be two come the summer.

Nice Nova and thanks for not putting SS emblems on it

Dan

Thanks Dan...Yes, it's not an SS. I even put Chevy symbol center caps on the wheels.
