Default tire choices 335 range

Im after some advice on purchasing a set of 335 30 18 tires for my 69..

My car is street driven only but i want a good looking sidewall and treadpattern ... the car isnt driven very often so wear isnt a big factor.

tire rack has 'toyo proxes r888' & 'bf g force kdw2'

also on ebay here there is a new set of 'proxes RA1' tires for a good price..

whats is a good looking sidewall and pattern tire outa these ?

I run the R888 335's on my car. I love them. Great street tire, and they look killer too. Can be a little noisy on the highway though.

I see a lot of people loving on the R888's. BFG's should be nice as well.

R888s is a good choice. So is the new Rival in a few months.

I hope you didn't mean the KDW. That's a very dated tire at this point.

RA-1's were an epic tyre for what you're doing, great traction and good/fair wear, grooved too. I'd say anything second hand would have "gone off" by now, did hear a rumor that certain sizes were still being made though.

R888's are next best IMO, well in the dry anyway!

Waiting patiently for the Rival's to emerge
