The M.T. ST Radial is an awesome tire and hooks great. I've driven my Chevelle in torrential downpour and never felt squirrelly.

I run Nitto 555's. Have been happy with them. Don't have the sizes in front of me though.

Re: best street tires for 18" wheels

I've used Bridgestone Potenza S-02's, 245/40/18 front, 295/35/18 rear and they are were awesome tires - I had them on my 5/7 static dropped 92 C1500. My current setup is 245/40/18 front and 335/30/18's on the rear of my '69 C10, BF Goodrich KDW II's. The BFG's seem to handle well but I haven't logged a bunch of miles on them yet. The 335's on the back do leave two nice 13" wide black marks though...



btw - nice rig there 69stepper
