[T3] Alignment

[Keith Park]

The mustang folks love our tire size for the front of their dragsters.
They loved the Kumho's because they were cheap and had still sidewalls,
we really want the stiff sidewall tires for our cars, especially the
Squares.

This is what I put on mine when we restored Clementine a few years ago. 
So far so good but I don't put a lot of miles on them and since its a 
fastback I don't do a whole lot heavy loading with it like some of the 
square guys here do. They will probably dry rot before I ware them out. 
My local tire store that I got them from said they sale them mainly to 
guys who drag race fox body Mustangs and they run them on the front. I 
figure they can handle our cars ok if some guys are using them to hold 
up the front of a V-8 muscle car flying down a drag strip. Here is a 
photo of one right after we mounted them to the wheels a few years ago.
