Looking for your collective advice on tire size for my '68 Skylark convertible since I must replace the tires. Lots of tread on the existing , but the sidewalls are cracked real bad from sitting for a very long time I have 205-75-14's on the car now and it has been strongly recommended to go to 215's or even larger if possible. I will not be changing the wheels as they are in good shape (might need 2 center caps replaced). Any comments on tire brands is also appreciated Thanks........Mark
I would go with: 215/70/14 or 205/75/14 That is just my preference- I drive a lot of miles, and don't push the cars through the corners. Some people like bigger (taller and/or wider) tires. -Bob C.
The BF Goodrich Radial T/A with whte raised lettering 225/70 14 is a popular proven tire. Do a search here and find out for yourself. :grin:
mark: if your rims are 6" wide , go with the bfg t/a radials , 225R70 x 14 . i have these on my gs . good tires .
Thanks guys, I presume I can get the bfg's in whitewall....I like the white lettering but want that "original' look on this car.
