Upgraded tires on my 67 Cutlass

New shoes. Went from BFG's to Coopers.

Rear were 245-60/15 and now 275-60/15

Nice !

And I see you chose very wisely. The upsized new tires have absolutely no weight gain penalty. The new and old tires weigh exactly the same thanks to the difference in manufacturers.

Wise choice going to the Coopers, I've got a fresh set on my 79 H/O, on the car for a year now and no complaints, AND, the letters are staying white.

That's good the hear!
I went with the Coops b/c of the good reviews that I read, they were about $40 per tire less than the BFG's and I wanted something different b/c around here it seems like "everyone" runs BFG's.
