Firestone wide oval tires
Rick Meredith:
Actually They should not be wider. F is a width designation and 60 or 70 is an aspect ratio just like a metric sized tire. Any width difference would be due to manufacturing differences.

i have looked at the above links and the F70 will go on rims from 6-8 and the F60 on a 7and8 and there is a size differnece in them, so i will try to get a pair of the F70 x 15.
will be a search over here in the netherlands but i will get them.. ;D i really like the looks of them, and hopefully they are sticky enough also
TiDi:
I use F70-15 on 5.5 sprints and look perfect on my 67 with short axels ;D ;D ;D ;D

That is a nice looking tire. Wonder what kind of tread life you would get out of them on the street. :D

No problem with tread life, they are ordinary street tires. 1970 style bias ply street tires that is..
Rick: I agree with your explanation that the F is a width designation, but only in theory.. F-60 is considerably wider (and a little lower) than F-70 in all these musclecar tires like Firestone Wide Oval, Goodyear Polyglas, M/T Indy Profile aso.
And those Sprints with Wide O's.. Love 'em!!
BTW, I run F-70's on a 5" rim. Not saying that I recomend it, but they stay on..
