I currently have junky radials on my 54. They drive okay, but would be a 100% deduct. I want to pick up a set of bias ply tires for judging purposes. I might drive them to the events as well (no trailer). What bias plys would maximize my judging points? My VIN # is 3279.
The Judging guide shows I can have US Royal Air Rides, BF Goodrich Silvertowns, or Firestone Deluxe Champions. Whitewalls were 2.5 to 3 inches. "Very Late" 54's had tubeless tires.
From the standard deduct table, looks like I will be subject to only a 10% hit if I can find tires identical to the originals other than the DOT marking.
I would like to limit the hit for tires to 10% What should I get and where should I get them? Do I need tubed tires?
I searched the archives and did not find anything helpful.
Thanks a ton for your help,
Russ
