    I am looking to put bias ply on my '34 Full Fendered Coupe and am having trouble getting the size/dimensions to reasonably look right for the style of the car.

    I'm considering putting 820 15 dirt track in the rear and using a standard bias ply 5.60 15s in the front. Does anyone have pictures (or opinions) on using bias dirt track in the rear and standard Firestone bias in the front?

    Any pictures or tire suggesions on bias sizes on full-fendered early fords?

    Thanks in advance!

    I think the dirt track tires are more for fenderless rods.. Regular 8.20 and 5.60 stones would be a nice combo though.....

    Man, the 820s just seem so skinny? They look like bicycle tires... Is that what you have on the Model A in your Avatar?

    I have loved that coupe since I was a kid! Was really excited to see it at the Goodguys Texas show a few years ago. 8.20 dirt tires will fill that fender! They aren't small!
