Big tires

[scottylack]

Looking for some 245/60 or 235/60 14 inch tires for my barracuda...white letter .... or white walls...! Please help!!!

What size rim are you running ? The 225-70-15s fit pretty good on my Dart with 5.5" Rallyes.

I am planning on using 245/60-14s in back and 215/70-14s up front in my dart. The 245s have a diameter of 25.6" and the 205s have a diameter of 25.3". Seems like a good match height wise while providing some nice width in the back. Nobody seems to be making alot of 14" tires anymore and all I can find for a manufacturer for both of these sizes is BF Goodrich. Cooper Cobras used to come in both sizes, but I don't think they carry the 245/60-14s any more.

I had some 245x60x14's on my 64 Dart (in my avatar). I was running them on 14 x 5.5 steelies. They fit fine with no rubbing or anything. Cooper Cobra is the brand I was using. I have seen then a few times from local tire stores.

Thanks,

I am running the stock rim in the front steelie ...14 x 5 ?

Most stock steelies are 14X4.5", a 245-60-14 is gonna be a bit big for them. I think I would stay with the 225-70-14s at the most.

I forgot to mention that I was going with the 245/60/14s, but on custom 7" wide steel rims. From what the tire manufacturers recommend, I agree that 225/70/14 is probably as wide as you should go on stock rims.

No I have 14 x 7 for the big tires... I have 205's for the 4.5 ...

Apparently the Tire Factory sells Multi-Mile Grand Am Radial G/T tires in both 205/70/14 and 245/60/14

These could be another option besides BFG tires if you want raised white letters.

I have a pair of 235/60-14 Firestone Firehawks to sell. They are mounted on 14x6 lbp rallys. The tires might have 100 miles if that. I am in North Jersey. Where are you located?
