    Which tires for The Blackbird

    Which of these 2 tires would be better on the rear of The Blackbird (on 9.5" rims)? It is not used in winter, so no snow, but will be used in rain and low temperatures in the Spring and Fall.

    I run 285/50/18's from Continental, on stock rims, $120 ea., and better numbers than the OEM's.
