Re: {Chrysler 300} New Tires?



Hi Joe, 
 
Looks like Kelsey’s Goodyear Polyglas Tires is the only current source and, as you mention, H70-15 classic RWL (raised white letter) tires aren’t in their offerings. I’ve attached a few links here for the classic G70-15, and a link for the classic L60-15 bias ply tires. Don’t see any radials listed having the classic RWL appearance. 

Comparing the specs of the G70 and L60 -
   Diameter 26.8” vs 28.07”
   Tread width 8.40” vs 9.00”
   Section width 9.76” vs 12.12”
   Load  1620# vs 1970#
     
 H70-15 tires are listed as 28.1” diameter, so they approximate the meatier L60-15’s diameter. 
     
Though they’ll have L60 instead of a G70 lettering, the L60 tire height will look the correct height. Question is, does your Hurst have the inside and outside clearance for these 60-series tires that are about 2.3” wider that your current H70s? Also scope this out with your front wheels turned all the way left and right. 

Have you reached out to our Club’s Hurst consultant, Karl Pippart III? - karl@xxxxxxxxx. 

Good luck, and let us know if you find a better solution!
Noel

Hi all…

I’m in desperate need of new tires for my 70’ Hurst, the original tires are of an add size H70-15 no longer made, any suggestions Bias or Radial must be GoodYear’s, trying to maintain originality as much as possible,
