Having issues finding tires for a S2. 3.00 front 3.50 rear. Tried 90/90 18 and 100/90 18 as well. Can't find a matched set of tires in those sizes other than off/odd brands from China. Some are available in the UK in styles/brands not available in the US. Sent a few emails out to the UK but they will not ship to the US. Is this something related to Covid or have those sizes been discontinued?

Thanks for the leads. Never thought about Summit. Have a couple other questions. Some of the available brands are bias ply, some are radial which is better? Also prefer Michelin but the 2 sizes are both listed as front. Can a front tire be used on the rear?

Yes, am into Fords. Triples are from the muscle car era, thus the connection. Raw, somewhat crude HP that requires respect. Your unlikely to pull up to an intersection and see another one. Prius owners don't like the smell of either and stay distant.

I had a 70 Boss 9 myself and a 71 Boss 351, kind of grew tired of the show scene. More fun having stuff you can go out and thrash and not worry about it!

Agree, only have done car shows 2 times in 20 years. Have other cars to run hard.
