used to roll 72's with 520's....14" on my glasshouse for years...
never had a problem...but these were premium sportways.... :cool:
that cadi is a tank though bro....I'd be weary even with radials on that
Yup, I was rolling on 72 spoke Dayton with 155's. The car did run smoother with the radials, but nothing beats the look of that 5.20 13" tire.

but does it feel safe on the highway with the 5.20s? i got a family to look out for :)
My son and I went to a car show a few months back. We had a 30 mile drive at 70 MPH. I was a little concerned but we didn't have any problems. The ragtop ran smooth and "We was hittin' switches too"

i did list them 4 sale a couple weeks ago, for 400.00 since i spent 465.00 on them, but i saw them at LONG BEACH meet for 92.00 each,,,,,,
So I figured that i had to either lower the price*** (lose more money)**** or just keep them, since they were from the original batch, these were made better than the lastest ones that split on the side wall.
unless i can get close to the 4bills,,,,,i`ll hang on to them. :biggrin:
