- While we're on the subject of radials on 60's cars... My brother has a
- 69 Chevelle 2door that he usually runs pretty big meats on (60 series,
- about 12 or 13" of tread, 14" rims), but when we were working on my
- Camaro, which had radials on when we bought it (Eagle GT's), my brother
- thought he'd try out the radials on his Chevelle. Well, the handling
- improved like a zillion percent, and now he's wondering if he can get a
- set of big meats in radial. Anybody know if such animals exist? And
- would the wide radials still be a noticeable improvement in handling?
