I have the Hankook P215-75R14’s on our 300K rag and am satisfied with them. Ground clearance and adulation are not issues.

So,

It appears that the Wheel Vintiques 14 inch wheel I ordered as a test will work with the stock 300K hub cap. The only issue is the valve stem hole is a little off. I tend to favor brass stems which do not bend at all. Rubber stems will bend just a little and would work. In my case , I think one of the angled valve stems will solve that issue and get the best of both worlds. I also like the brass ones as they act as a hubcap rotation stop without cutting into the rubber stems.

Now to tires. We plan is driving this car daily. I have DB tires on my other classic cars, but they do not get many miles on them. I hate the idea of driving on $300 tires regularly. I went looking for a substitute and I found the following the following information. By comparison, I am showing the DB Auburn.

Auburn……………… HR-78-14…………..Height = 27.5……….Tread Width = 5.5……….Section Width = 8.3……….Load = 1764

HanKook ………….215/75R14………….Height = 26.6……….Tread Width = 5.9………..Section Width = 8.4……….Load = 1764

Other then the height being 29/32 shorter ( 1 inch) the tires are basically identical. These Hankook tires are $110 delivered. The Auburn’s would be $300 each delivered.

Anyone have any experience with this tire?

Thanks, James
