Bill,
Thanks for the tire recommendations as that is one area where I'm most interested to improve. The only issue for the 325's is that my rear Halibrand's are only 8.5" which likely limits the choice to the 275. That is, unless I spring for new rear rims, etc. I do have feelers out for a set of 10" Halibrand magnesiums to match, but those are not likely to fall from the sky anytime soon. My other option is to spring for a BRM rim, which would be my next choice. Which Nitto did you choose for your fronts?
thanks
Larry
