Day 2 slicks

[CDNL-78]

Now that I've ordered my radiator, the next thing is some day 2 looking street slicks. Anybody got some ideas for my nova?? Pictures and links are greatly appreciated. Would like the slicks to fit the stock 14x7 steels. Hopefully I can get these in Canada. Thanks in advance for your help. Darcy

Hello
Are you looking for set to race with or just a set to say take photos and just look cool, if you are looking for a set just for looks i have a set from the 60's that are still mounted to a set of 14x7 wheels, I believe they are old pontiac wheels(I would need to check the bolt pattern to be sure ) one slick is in very good shape but the other one has some cracks on the side walls and i dont know if i would have the balls to take them down the track. I would get rid of them for $80. plus shipping. Thanks, Geoff.

[CDNL-78]

Thanks Geoff, but I would like them for the looks, but also for the 100ft shoot out that we have locally. I might run it at the track if time allows. Them red line bias I have look cool, but don't hook up worth a darn. Thanks for the offer though.

Here is the new Hurst slicks I put on my Camaro, just for the day two look. Not much good for hooking up at the track.
Understand they are new radial tires recaped with the cheater tread.

These are 7", mounted on 14x6 rims.

These are pretty new and are available in 8.50 x 14, and also 9.00 x 15 as well as these. These are Stock class correct for late 60's early 70's (max 7 inch tread) and I remember seeing some of these on the street back in the day. I think these are more period correct as the piecrusts are more early to mid 60's vintage.

These guys are correct---&quot;pie crust&quot; slicks were run in 1964 vintage cars. They were long gone by 1969. Look in any 69 vintage car magazine.Go to the M&amp;H Racemasters or check out some Mickey Thompson Indy Profiles, if you can find them. Summit Racing still has stock but I believe M/T is no longer building them.

The BFG Drag Radials,M&amp;H drag radials as well as the new Goodyear DOT drag radials look good and handle better than any of these &quot;old school&quot; tires. Put 32 pounds in them and they don't even look like radials from the side. Don't even look at the Jap stuff from Nitto.

Darcy, this is my 70 Nova SS L78 with Hurst Slicks, non pie crust, mounted on 15x7 steel Chevy Rally Wheels.. Like Mike said they suck at the track... With the Novas you have to be carefull not to put on too wide of a tire.. These are 28 3/4 and 6 1/2 x 15...

Keep the pictures coming, lets see what else you can all come up with.

An orignal set of M-Hs on steelies.

[PxTx]

The M&amp;H looks great and I know they perform better than the Hurst radial's at the track. I'm sure the Hurt wheels are a little better when cruising and there is something realy cool about the pie-crust tires I'll always like.

Might as well get a set of each

Should have kept that car Alan!!

[novadude]

Question for you guys running the hurst recaps...

How are they holding up with normal street driving? Anyone running them at the track? Any problems to date?

[m22mike]

Have run them on the I-state @ 60+ with no problems, they are a little squirrely on the freeway when changing lanes. Around town there fine. And I have run them at the track up to 105 mph.

[notstock71]

Maybe someone can shed some light on this one. I found it in a basement one day while at work. There was only the one and the older lady did not recall what car it may have been on or where it is.
