Well I have no idea where to start with this one...I'm just wondering which tires should I look at. I basically just want good looking tires...wider in the back than in the front...and thats about it. So does anyone have any suggestions of what I should look at?

I didn't see what car you have, but in general the BF Goodrich T/A Radial is the most popular tire I've seen on classics. On my '66, I have 215/60/15s on the front and 245/60/15s on the back... running on 15x7 AR Torque Thrust IIs....

Another vote for Radial T/As for classic styling, but if you want more performance, it's time to do some research. Go to tirerack.com and check out the tires they offer. I switched from the BFGs to some Bridgestone RE750s, mean looking tire and great performer. As for sizes, post what kind of wheels you will be using, size wise that is. I am running 16x8s.... 245/50/16 all around, sorta wish i would have gone bigger in the back though... oh well.

check out http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp it is a real nice comparison tool. And it will even tell you manufactures that make the size. Granted, it is only the manufactures that 1010tires carries.
