235/70r14

Anyone still making this size in a RWL summer tire.
I checked on-line today with Goodyear, Michelin, Bridgestone, General, BF Goodrich, General & maybe a couple others.
No one seems to be making them anymore.

Is this a good reason to buy some new 15" rally wheels?

 

Hey Steve;

Im not sure about the 70 aspect ratio, but i know they still make a 235/60R14.

They are decent, my freind had them on his 69 cutlass for a long time. Dayton is the brand (branch of Firestone i think). Very cheap, VERY VERY sticky tire (soft).

 

i have not seen, lately, anyone producing a 235r70x14 . time for 15" rims.

 

time for 15" rims.

I'm starting to think this will be the easiest route. I have a few surplus 14" wheels not including those on the car now. Likely send them away over the Winter & have the centers put into 15" rims.

I'll also keep an eye open for a set of 5 very good used 15" wheels.

Stock 14" tires were G 70-14 and it converts to 225 70R-14 which is availble by BF Goodrich Radial TA.

 

Thought stock size was G78-14 for a Skylark?

 

BFG has TA radials 245/60SR14

 

for a that tire u require 7" rims.

 

Thanks for the replies. I see Fall Carlisle creeping up on us. I think I'll start there.

 

I'm running the 225-70R-14 BFGs. The speedo is correct with them.

fyi - on my 72 gs, the original rallyes were 14" & i installed bfg t/a 225R70x14 tires. four years ago, i replaced the tries & rims with 15" rallyes and bfg t/a 245R60x15 tires. what a difference in handling with the 245 tires. like night and day!

 

I'm leaning towards new 15 X 7" rims, stock Rally style.
G78-14 had a height of 27.1".
255-60R15 is at 27.0".

Can I get a 255 on a 7" rim?

 

yes u can. my brother had 255r60 on his gs with 15x7 rallyes.

 

Gerry,
You just clinched the deal. Set of 5 new 15 X 7 wearing 255-60R15 TA's.
Now, gotta pay for all this stuff.:idea2:
