What is with the Nitto tires?  Been going to Talladega for over 30 years and have never seen a set of Nitto tires on the track.  Bob G.  Pumpkin Center, NC  

With Toyota running NASCAR, wait for it!!!  

A set of yellow letter Goodyears would look very cool on this car.  

I don't know what they run in downtown Pumpkin Center, NC, but I bet it's not race-only Goodyears. I chose the Nittos because they're about the same size as the old stock car tires, they're very sticky, and they're street-legal. Nitto also takes a very active role in our segment of the hobby. Goodyear, on the other hand, doesn't even know you and I exist.  

project Talladega also doesn't have a fully gutted race interior, that doesn't make it any less bad ass!  

Great Job Johnny!
As a PHR subscriber, 1st GM owned a 73 Malibubu (which I loved), and current owner of 73 Grand Am, I was pleased to see your coverage of the NASCAR and other 73-77 A-Body GM's.

Keep up the great work! LMKWUT  

I agree with Johnny. I have Nitto's on my 75 TA. For a street tire they hook very good. They are less money than the MT's. I got caught in a very heavy downpour when I was going 55. The Nitto drag radials acted like a normal set of radial tires. My ET Street radials I would have been in a ditch.
