| 56.1 | tires rule? | SA1794::KITTJ | SMOKIN' JOE __________ DTN 243-2634 | Mon May 06 1991 09:56 | 5 |
| Would having 60's on the front of my charger cause a "skip" in the
wheel?I've replaced everything in the front end including the steering
box.It acts like a tight steering box would,no spring to center.
Thanks,
Joe

| Joe,
I recently had a similer prob. on my 80 Camaro. I replaced all front
parts and got an alignment. I thought they screwed it up!! Come to find
out I had a frozen ball joint!! (defective part).
(The prob. on your car was 2 months ago don't know if you fixed it yet)

Sounds like an alignment problem - most likely too little caster.
(Lazy return to center)

I did the same things on my '67 RS SS 396 Camaro. Turned out to be a
bad bearing at the top of the steering column. I had a spare tilt
column lying around t ouse for parts. Problem solved!

| Does anyone have a tire height guide I could borrow?
I need to figure out engine rpm at a given speed.
Thanks,

| 56.6 | RPM calculations | MKOTS3::BEAUDET_T | Tom Beaudet | Thu Aug 05 1993 15:14 | 18 |
| Rgr x 336 x ( cruise MPH)
RPM = -------------------------
Tire Diameter
Another handy one is
Old Tire diameter
------------------ x original Rgr ration = Effective Rgr ratio
New Tire Diameter
Rgr = Rear gear ratio (3.23 would be used where the ratio is 3.23:1)
Hope this helps.

| Thanks Tom, I had not heard of that 2nd formula before.
Does anyone have a tire-height chart??

Seems like a reasonable place to discuss...
"Allysyn" (my '87 Mustang GT) needs new rubber. I'd like to put
on some 50 series tires and 16" wheels...
The motorsport catalog had just what I want for wheels - 5-spoke star
wheels (that look stock for the later model GT's), 'cept they are
polished and are $300/wheel.
First, what tires might one recommend? I got a chubby looking at the
Radial T/A ZRX tires that come on the cobra...Zowee! Anyone know how
much I can expect to plonk down for these?
Second, who makes some cool wheels (four-lug, 16") that I can *afford* ?
Third, I'm concerned about new wheels/tires "rubbing" my wheel wells.
Comments?

| Browse your local tire/wheel shops (do you have a SuperShops there?). Look at
the wheels, ask questions. *Any* reputable tire shop should at least be able to
tell you what sizes will physically fit without interference. You might find
what you want... if not you'll know what size to order from your favorite
catalog.

| Thanks Tim - I'm in Colorado too - right down stairs from you.
So, yep, we have SuperShops here. :-)
Thanks for the tip!
