I can't be bothered to adjust the Caltracs let alone cart slicks to the track. :D

Yes, 275/60R15 x 8“ and 235/60R15 x 7“, is my choice for B bodies. BFG T/As if you can get them.

It's getting difficult to find American made tyres over here since the dirty oil law came into effect.
I use these on the back

I need to find some 235/60's for the front this year.
Yep i,ve been looking for 235-60-15-107-H to match those Bridgestones rear cant find them anywhere.

The only 235 and 275 combo that matches are the General Grabber's but are only rated 'T' 118mph. But can also get these in 275 H rated but again not H rated in 235. So might have to go for the T rated Generals?
