Everyone's just jealous, Dennis! Don't listen to them! They look great! A conversion kit & new wire wheels probably won't cost (much) more than $1000, or, you can get used hubs & discs from a wire-w

How 'bout the old 145-13's were bias ply, and the new 155's are radial??? That's my guess anyway. The radical difference in sidewall stiffness betwixt the two would be enough to give me the willies,
