Rybar- This is the closet thing I have to a rear shot of the car right now with the new wheels and tires. It gives you the general idea. You can see the tread width.

Race- I think they are H rated which is like 130 mph. That rating is for sustained speed of course. For street use they are more then fine. Not made for track use. The guys at M/T told me it costs a ton more to get up to a Z rating in the testing world and they didnt think it would be important on a tire of these sizes. Something like that.
I used to work many years at at tire store, so I can tell you that an "H" rating is up to 130 mph. "V" would be up to 149 and "Z" starts at 150 at just goes up. As twin stated, that is for sustained driving, and really affects the handling of a tire. The rating is the speed at witch the tire starts to change shape (not fall apart). So yes, Plenty good for street use.
Garage Dog- Thanks. I too wish they would have shown more of the thousands of hours of fabrication and building of the car rather then the made up drama and bs. The work, fabrication and design that was done was done incredible though. You can see some other pictures that Steve1968LS2 took at http://www.popularhotrodding.com/fea...tte/index.html and the article from Popular Hot Rodding. These pics are with the old wheels and tires though!
Shaun, that is looking really nice. I wouldn't change a thing... -Rob
