    Default s8filmaker, Another question about tires

    I got the centerlines in, still debating on putting them on are selling them. I had the car on jackstands today doing some work checking brakes, etc... and I mounted the wheels on the car (of course no tires on them). They really look pretty good, So fi I do decide to go with these what size 60 series tire can run on the front? I know you said you had problems with the 245/60-15. Will a 235 work, really don't want to go any smaller than that. It's got 235's on the back and 195's on the front right now, looks sort of wierd.

    Wonder if they still make a 50 series in a raised white letter tire. I had a set on N50's (of course those were the old bias ply tires) on my old 63 comet.



    If I decide to sell them and go with the 93 cobra replica wheels, I found out I can get a 245 in a 40 series tire which will give me about 1" more clearance.

    I would go 235/60/15, good size, common, a little taller and wider than the OE 225/60/15. Almost always a raised white letter tire, I know the BFG's are. Fits good on a 15x7-15x9 wheel

    Well I've actually got them running in the local paper. If they don't sell I'll put them on the capri. If they do sell I'll put the 93 cobra replicas on the capri. I'm leaving on vacation Saturday the wheels will probably run the same weekend, about my luck. With our papers free ads you can pick your date, they run them when they want to, usually within a week of recieving it. But that'll give me a few more days to think about it.

    Thanks,
