M & H muscle car drag tires

I like the stance on your Cougar, as it is old school with the rear lifted. When I bought my KR back in 1981, it had 275 60 x 15 Comp TA's but with air shocks.
What front tire size are you running to get the forward rake? I use 215 70 x 15's as they are about the same diameter as the 255 60 x 15 rear tires.

F60-15 Polyglas up front for the Day 2 look. I'm also running 620 coil springs.

Did u have to roll the fender lips on your cougar (like the boss cars) since biggest tire  from factory u could get on 69-70 cougar was f-70-14?

Ed
they are not rolled front or back and do not rub at all. But my 235/60s on my Shelby rub with rolled lips. I think the design shape of the 69-70 Cougar fenders allows the clearance, as they would probably most definitely rub on our 68 Cougar.

Wonder why the boss 302 cougars didnt get f-60-15 tires with 15''x7'' wheels like the boss 302 mustangs if the bigger tires wouldnt have a clearance problem unlike the boss mustang that had to have rolled fenders for bigger tire clearance. The boss 302 cougar eliminator was mercurys top performance car and being heavier and more expensive than the mustang u would think they would have had the bigger tires and wheels if not a fender tire clearance problem and in 70 all cougars and mustangs had the beefed up front suspension like the boss cars to handle the bigger tires.

^^^ yes, another oddity between the Cougar and the Mustang.

The Boss 302 Eliminators also had no outside badging/emblems/designations announcing what was under the hood either.
