Default Re: got my first set of CRAGARS?

What are your plans for the car and what kind of rear tires(or slicks) do you have in mind or maybe already have on the car? If you like tall, like I do, the Moroso Drag Special Front Tires come in 28 and 29 inch tall versions. They've been made in the same molds forever so buying a brand new set is like discovering a vintage NOS set. They are bias-ply though and they do tend to wear a bit quickly, especially on a car that needs a front alignment. The Pro-Tracs are also a nice front tire and I have a very nice vintage NOS set that was recently discovered in a small tire warehouse here in St. Louis but after I mounted them up, they have a really big sidewall bulge. I've never seen a set of front runner tires bulge out the way that they do.
