Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!

[Grizz1963]

Popped down to my favourite tyre shop this afternoon after work to see if they had a couple of part worn tyres to sell or fit on two of the rims for me.

Weirdly, the last four they had replaced on a car were 195/60 - 15’s

The 175/45 - 15’s fitted to the 8” wheels were a bit resistant to remove, but came off.



Then the first one would not seat the bead, despite all sorts of actions.

So Jacob went on to the next one.

Easy peasy, and back to the first one…..

Resorting to fire.

Except it would not ignite….. so no spectacular photo.

Still, more bouncing, and an upright airing saw it pop on eventually.



£20.00 paid for the quick change, and I had a set of tyres to use for the mocking up that may just stay on.

Compared to the stretched tyres fitted to the wheels, the 195’s are taller and wider of course.



And enough tread on there should I decide to run with these.

Though the sidewall profile at 60 is quite tall.



Ideally I would like 225 wide on the rear.

Cold weather forecast for a couple of days this week.
