1973 Charger SE

Can anyone tell me the factory tire size for my 73? Also, were they white walls and how wide was the wall?

Depends on what you ordered.
SE's generally came with F78-14

Check BS if have optional, maybe tire sticker if have one. Here's from the 73 Data Book:

Thank you for the tire info! That helps a lot!

195/80R14 (YUCK!) or 215/70R15 (also YUCK!)

I run 235/60 R15 in the front and 255/60R15 in the back. Looks good!

You have a pic of that set up I'd like to see that. I have a 73 still debating on 15" or 17" .

Run a similar set up in my 74 Charger as Triple Black. Centerline Wheels with 245/60 R15 up front and 275/60 R15 in back. I think the 15" look nice.

New 235/60r15 up front with 22 year old 255/60R15 out back. I think 275/60r15 would look better in the rear but those wheels are only 7 inches wide. The ram 2500 has 37x12.5r16.5

looks great you don't have any dry rot in between the treads on the Charger tires?

I wanted to go to 16" wheels, but it's impossible to find RWL tires in that size, and our cars don't look right to me without them.

My 22 year old rear tires? No dry rot because they was kept in doors all that time coated in protective tire dressing. However, they do need to be replaced since the left front bubbled up something fierce during a 20 mile trip in 95 degree weather. I sure as hell don't want to take the car any further than the 10 miles free tow with those tires.
