14" tires
«

I am looking for some nice 14" tires. On the rear I have sort of decided on BF Goodrich Radial TA as we have 200 days of rain here so some nice retro F70s are out f question. On the front I am struggling to finde some narrow tires that are not low profile. Anybody have any suggestions, I would like to run 135/145/155 width?
Are 155/65 too low? Anybody seen a 165/70 tire, how does that look?

Ratto: I have seen those and are trying to find them here. The rears are crazy expensive, but those didnt seem to bad.
Speedwell: Do You know the model name of the tire?
Thanks to both!

I'm looking at rear Quatrac 2's for my '67 sometime in near future, just not sure which width yet.

Thanks to both of You.
I'll try to find some of those Michelins.
For the rears I need 205/70 and that did not seem to be available in the Vredstein rears. I have seen the Sprint in 205/70-14 at Coker at $465, but I havent seen it here.

funny you mention that size, im debating on those but not sure how it would look on the front.I'd prob have to lower it alot, an i cant use drop spindles. Im thinking of going with 175/60/13's up front.Rears im thinkin of going 215/60/14's.
hmmm yeah sorry i was searching for anyone running 13's or 14's didnt realize the date that was last posted...

Thinking outside the box? hmm...I dont wanna play in the box no more, so Im stepping out for a while..
Aircooled for a reason, waters for boats!
