What modern tire size to replace E70-14s?

[hcarr]

I meant when I nail it. That squeal!

The only problem I had with the bias ply tires were the wear factor I never got more than 10 to 12 thousand miles out of them. You are right they sure could squeal and really smoke them.

They still make N50-15's.

And of course if you don't just have to have one that is literally stamped with N50-15 you could buy any P295/50/15 or P305/50/15 tire.

That's doesn't help those of us who rock the 14 inch rims

Any chance that is streetlegal?
And 275 might be a bit narrow for a 10 inch wheel

Yes, It is full tread and DOT legal.

Most guys, especially on here run narrow wheels for a given tire. You don't want a ton of sidewall past the rim. It's bad for handling and it's bad for straight line traction. As you run a wider wheel it flattens the tread surface at any given air pressure.

That hoosier is 10.10" section width in an 8" wheel. So it would certainly work on a 10" wheel. It would just be wider and function better.

I run a 13.10" section width tire on an 11.25" wheel for reference.

Try Pro-Trac. Think they still carry the N50-14.
