Zoomin.. not too much tire otherwise it will push like a dog
I had to make the Pantera rears smaller a long time back to get
rid of the push

Bryan,
I am running 335 Rival S tires out back.. they seem pretty good but
I don't have a lot of time with them.. yes the Bridgestones in my
opinion is the best tire out there unless you are running Dot Road
race tires which I run on my Pantera all the time

I wanted to get a little more clearance in height but also in
the turning point of the tire... I have only a 4 3/4" offset so
much of my rim is offset outside.. not the best in working but
my liking in looks.... when you put on modern a-arms they seem
to pull the wheel backward with the castor.. works great but in
my case hitting on the bolts that hold the fenders.. I had to grind
them and they still sometimes hit.. so get a shorter tire

I have found that running at shorter tire on my Pantera 35 series vs
40 series makes the car stick so much better on the track... Just
my experience so figured try it on the Bird

I also cut a tire in the front recently so need to flair the front
fender... figured get a little wider tire since cutting things...
was originally thinking 315's but don't think they will work with my offsets
and again I think the bridgestone is that much better to give up a little size
