New Shoes for the Verde Howitzer
« on: June 06, 2025, 08:44:08 AM »
With judging days coming to an end, the bias ply tires have to go. Replaced the 14" bias plys with Uniroyal Tiger Paw radials (GTO tires!) on 15x7 Wheel Vintiques reproduction wheels. The painted centers are the wrong color but that's OK with me. It certainly improves the look with better wheel well fill. Expect it to improve driving as well. Hoping to check that out soon!

You are going to enjoy driving it! The 15 inch tires look good!

Looks very nice Chuck!

I didn't know you could get Uniroyal Tiger Paw radials in a white wall.  Biquette is due for new shoes next year.  I might follow your lead!
