this was a great read!
Regaurding the tire debate, iirc (I didn't click any of hte links) the 235/60/15 is hte closeste to section and height as the original F60/15, but the 245 is closer to the correct tire patch...
I have run 235's, 245's, and 255's;
I liked the 255's the most, but they're a smidge too big for the OE ralley wheels.
IMHO, the 245/60/15 is the best tire - is is only marginally taller than the F60/15 (not enough to make a significant speedo error, but a wide enough tire patch, that it looks right...
I liked the 245's enough (actually they're a rarely ordered tire size btw) that after seeing 245/60/14's on an early Firebird some years ago, I bought a set for my '73 Formula...
