MikeW Posted February 5, 2007 Share #5 Posted February 5, 2007 You can upload pictures to your gallery but they have to be approved before anyone else can see them. You can also upload a picture as an attachment to any post. In both cases there are size limitations but I'm not clear on what those limits are. I always end up scaling pictures down to 1024x768.

mgood Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share #9 Posted February 5, 2007 The tires are at least 15 years old, they are showing some cracking in the side wall. I want to get new wheels, want to go to 16 in. then I will get new tires.Michael Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/23178-saying-hi/#findComment-198204 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisA Posted February 5, 2007 Share #10 Posted February 5, 2007 Hi Michael, Welcome to the group. That is a beautiful car you have. I love that color on a Z too.

daddz Posted February 5, 2007 Share #11 Posted February 5, 2007 Michael,I would save those wheels and tires for display purposes if you have the room. If not I am sure that someone in the Z car community would purchase them for a period correct display. One of our members in the No. Va. Z Car Club still has a set of Goodyear Eagle GT's on some original 280ZX wheels.It's a shame that Goodyear hasn't made any arrangements with a compnay such as Coker to reproduce those tires as well as the old Eagle ST's.

zbane Posted February 5, 2007 Share #12 Posted February 5, 2007 Lovely car in the photos, and I'm sure the photos don't do it justice!Regarding the tires, I just wish Goodyear would continue to produce the Eagle GT tires, I'd been using the GT II's for several years, and was really pissed when I found out they were NLA.
