huge tires on the street?
can you run monstrous tires like this and still be streetable? I mean like getting drag radials and stuff right?
I'm thinking right now not to get the new coopers and just upgrade to 15x10" chrome star rims and put some monstorus tires on back.
Would it be streetable?

Of corse if your wimpy 305 dont make enough power to brun those tires they should last a while right?

what rear end are you running Do you have a posi?? I have a stock 10 bolt and am going ot have some decent power behind a new 350 when it goes in this winter. But b/c my rear end is stock, it would blow up if i put some Big Stickies back there. Also, seriously, why would you want drag slicks/radials if your car is going to see very little drag duty? I think there are far better things to do to your car performance wise before you think about putting slicks out back.

oooohhhhhhhhh i see, so basically your gonna put some big tires out back of your car to make it look mean, when in fact its not?
whens the wing and coffee can coming with it?
seriously though, i'm not trying to flame you just trying to show you a point, put your money into making your car fast, rather then maiing it "look" fast
thos rims and tires could get your a good 350 with some cash left over for a cam
