Sam "the Hot Rod Junkie" now there is a Character... nice guy called the
other day bout the tire thing and I put him on my tire guys I think....
The Tires I used at Maxton on the Jag were Good Year Short Track Specials
which Measured 27" X 8" wide with 15" rims.... Only Problem I had with them
is that I kinda thought the side walls flexed to much... Now this isn't a
Professional opinion.... it's when I pushed on the back quarter Panel the
car would move and the side walls would flex.... but after listening to
all you folks I may not have had enough air Pressure in them... think it
was at 42lbs....
