I have been asking questions and reading about tires for my '65 coupe and now I need some help making my final selection. The car is powered by a 347 putting out about 425 HP. The rims are 17x7 so I am going with a 225/45/17 tire.
The car will only be drove during the summer on nice and sunny days. However, I am sure that I will be caught in the rain a handfull of times going to or coming back from shows that are located out of town. I prefer to carve corners on county roads then shave fractions of a second off of my 1/4 times so this car will be drove on the street 99.99% of the time.
With all of that said, I am looking for a tire that gives me good grip to put the power to the pavement but also performs decent in wet conditions for those rare times the car gets caught in the rain. I have come up with a list of recommended tires and would like your vote on the best bang for the buck. If you would go with a different tire than listed let me know!
