Smile 1970 Z28 RS - new member questions

HI I am new to this forum, I just bought a true 1970 1/2 Z28 RS..50K original miles, original paint- green, its been sitting in my friends garage for the last 10 years. I need new tires to drive it 400 miles to my house from my friends house...I need to know what tires you guys reccomend I put on it now. I know the original tires were F60-15 Fiberglass Belted tires with white letters. I think Firestone or Goodyear...Need to know what I should buy now. Im thinking of buying two sets (one set of radials and one set of the original tires). I was thinking BF Goodrich Radial TAs, but want you guys to tell me what you reccomend and also the tire size now for the radial tires. Also, We are going to go throuogh all the fluids ,oil, belts, etc before we drive it 400 milest to my house. Other sugggestions and reccomendations before I bring it home next weekend?? thanks - Steve

as a guess... 235/60/15... if it has been sitting for 10 years... drop the tank....replace the fuel pump....check the fuel lines.... rebuild the carb... change the fluids... check out the brakes.... The list goes on and on....

I just bought an 81 and the front wheel berrings pop ridiculously loud. So you may wanna check those. You would want one to go out
