Default Re: Wheel Size regarding Radials

Traction is vital for proper braking,a skidding car is out of control.

16" ford wire wheels offer a number of advantages over 19 or 21" wheels. Modern radial 16" tires are inexpensive,offer a greater sidewall flex and tread contact than the A sizes...a better ride with more flex,better stopping with more contact. I run a modified f100 steering box,steering effort is minimal.Cast iron drums,woven shoes and Teds floaters along
With the increased contact area means stopping with mechanical brakes easy,I run a modified engine with OD,and the brakes keep up with the increased speed and better handling.
