Tires

[V269]

I'm thinking of buying some tires for my steelies and was wondering what size would be best suited for them. I am going with radials. They are 15" rims. Fronts and rears please. Also what is the size comparison from bias to radials. PS, Bob what size did you just buy for your new rims ?

Ken, they are F70/15 Goodyear polyglass

Thank's Bob, I thought F70 was the correct size. You would'nt happen to know what size that would be in a radial P size tire would you ? Or anyone ? :huh:

215-70R/15 is equivalent to a F70-15 if I am not mistaken. 225-70R/15's would be equivalent to a G70-15 tire I believe. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.
I think if I had to do it all over again I might just have stuck with 235-70R/15's all the way around. At 8" treadwidth they give a very nice, balanced look.

this is a set or 225/70-14 on a 69 car not the best photo , that would be the min. size I would go with.

You're on drugs, Johnny McGowan... Your car looks perfect...except for the Coronet Station Wagon Green... :acme:

I have 245/60/15s at all 4 corners, prob a little big up front (they rub a little at full lock), but I like the size in the back.

:stooges: (been dying to use that!) now everyone sees who the real trouble maker is! Team Green has been our best behavior.

Well I bought a pair of tires for the front today at a local parts store. P225 70 15. They measure 27" tall and have 8" and a bit tread width. Also picked up 20 new chrome nuts for them. I had a $200 gift certificate for this store from work as a safety award so I used it and only had to chip in $13. Cheap pair of tires. Going to have my buddy put them on the rims tomorrow I hope. :banana:

Been too quiet around here, Dave. We needed a little ot:

Besides, I have only so many cheesey photos from the '80s that I can post...

Yep, I'm flying. Might not have all the tires on by then but may be able to take a pic and bring it with me. Great thing about this trip is I can get to see your car. We are definately going to go to the cruise night at Mcdonalds Sat. night. Be there or be square ! No pun intended. :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Ken, I'll see if the car will go that far. Although its pretty easy on gas with the \6 and all :lmao:

That aftermarket fuel injection set-up and overdrive probably help a bunch...

Ok, here is a pic of my new tires on the front and one of my rear frame as well.

Maybe this one will work.
