Re: [Chrysler300] Another Tire Question

Personally, I would not go with the 225s as they seem to be too small compared to the original tires, especially in terms of tire height. I see no downside to going with the 235/75/15 that are available as radials in a 3/4" whitewall, which is all that is commonly available these days. I used to get Cooper Trendsetters, but I am not sure they are still available. I did get a set of the Cornell whitewalls at Pep Boys (their store brand) which seem to be a pretty good tire. None of the commonly available whitewall tires are very wide anymore but the Cornells were about the best I could find in terms of appearance and size.

Hi again guys. I know we’ve been through this before, but I can’t seem to find my tire emails from the past.

I need new radials for my H. I understand the original tires were 7.60-15, and the radial replacement is 225/75R15, and it’s supposed to have a 1 1/8” whitewall. I can’t seem to find this 1 1/8” WW or even a 1” WW in the 225 size. Does anybody know where?

Thanks again

I believe that John Hertog ran one of the new starters in his cars

The info might be in one of the back issue newsletters
