Location: Detroit | Hi All,
I've read the threads that I could find on the right tires, and I still have a question.
The current tires I have are Coker Classic radials that were put on in 2003 (!) and it's more than time for a replacement. The tires on there are 215/75R14. I could get replacements in the same size or 800/14s, but would those have been correct for a '58 Belvedere Sport Coupe?
If possible I'd like to put on Bias Ply Firestones, which I believe were OE, but those only come in 750/14. Would those fit on the same rim? Or should I stick to an 800 and go with a Good Year bias-ply or American Classic bias-ply looking radial?
Thanks for the guidance! |

Location: Detroit | Thanks everyone. Maybe I'll stick to the 215 size then. But would anyone know if that rim works for a 750, too? |
