Looking for a set of tires to go on my 68 Firebird. I am using 17 X 11 rear and 17 X 8 front. I Want to go with 315s on the back and what ever matches up well in front. I REALLY like the KDW 2 tire but it looks like they are not made in 315 size. I see a few 315/35 17 tires but was hoping for a little more side wall. What is every one running with? Pictures would be great

Check out Tire Rack...I bought these Sumitomo 315/35-17's awhile back for $98/ea...! At that price,I can afford to smoke 'em at will.

Man those look FAT. I just ordered a set of the same size in a Nitto 555 so the tread would match the front tires. I all most got the same tire as you but I wanted to stay with the Nitto.

I can understand that Steve...got Nitto N55's on 2 of my 3 cars.
