So the 35 year old bias ply tires are cooked to say the least on my charger. my dad bought these wheels for the car in 79 and i've always loved the look. Fronts are no problem in terms of finding replacements but i cant seem to find anything wide enough to be suitable for the rear in 14". maybe i'm missing something? any lines on 14" tires? thanks in advance

I’d contact Coker Tire, cokertire.com, see if they have any idea.
 
We know they are 14 but what are the rear tire dimensions?
 
245/60r 14 are the biggest in a 14" 60 series that I can find.
 
Mercer auto and tire in big bear city,ca says they have L60x14s, mickey thompson indy profile. Couldn't find out the price. I dont know how long ago they were made, or even if they really have some. Ebay search shows people looking for big 14 inch tires fifteen years ago, and not finding them.
Sometimes looking for something hard to find, or not made anymore, results in a big pricetag.

yes its looking like a bit of a dead end search. plan B is going to be to switch over to a set of widened 15" steels i suppose

Looks like even Diamond Back tire is only showing up to 245/60/14. May be time for some 15's on the back.
