I just picked up a full set of 4 1956 chevy 15x5 steel rims because unless you want to run trailer tires, there just isn't anything in a 14" that is very tall. UNLESS you want to go to a BIAS LOOKING radial tire they make now. Pricy! You can get just about any size you can dream up with a 15inch rim.Which tire manufacturer makes the tallest passenger car radial tire for 14' and 15" rims. I have Hurst pie crust slicks on the 62' and am looking for a standard radial tire.
Thats about 26" tall by 8.5" wide. Way to big for front tires for me.I had trouble finding 14 inch tires. I ended up with 215 x 70 x 14 black wall made by Toyo, the biggest they made in 14". They are close to the 8.00 x 14 that it came with.
8.5 wide?????Thats about 26" tall by 8.5" wide. Way to big for front tires for me.
No way a 215 is 8.5 inches wide.Thats about 26" tall by 8.5" wide. Way to big for front tires for me.
No way a 215 is 8.5 inches wide.
This is the page I normally use to determine tire size.No way a 215 is 8.5 inches wide.
I'm running 165/80 15 skinnies up front and 275/60 15 in the rear. My Fronts are right at 25" tall and the rears are 28.Which tire manufacturer makes the tallest passenger car radial tire for 14' and 15" rims. I have Hurst pie crust slicks on the 62' and am looking for a standard radial tire.
Those are sweet tires but at nearly $300 per tire, its just not budget friendly. It cost me $320 for my two rear 275/60-15 DOT drag radials with free shipping. (also from Jegs)You could go with a Coker American Classic which looks like a bias but is a radial construction. I have the whitewalls but they make blackwalls and you can get them over 29" high in 15"
