(2nd try) Not realistic...

I currently have Miglia 1000 at 7.5, so a 225 would fit fine.

I bought the car with the current 205 Kuhmo's last year, but it had a bad transmission. Over the winter I put in a totally rebuilt and beefed up tranny with a trango kit and torque converted.

Now I spin the wheels if I hit it to hard getting on the highway at 35mph! So, needless to say I have to move up. And I don't have posi, just 3:73's.

I am trying to find a nice balance, price wise, until I complete the long list of improvements and mods...

By the time I am done with the cosmetic, suspension and go fast mods, these tires will be need to be replaced.

Thanks for the great feedback. Just what I was looking for!
