14" wheel tire size

[wedgie]

14" tires are getting hard to find except for trailers. What is the widest and tallest radial street tire available? My stock 1969 Road Runner wheels are 14X7.

I always go with a 225/70R14

Not super tall or wide but always looked good on 66-67 B bodies in my opinion

stock 69 Chrysler corp 14" wheels are not 7" wide. Show us a photo.
14" tires are not hard to find. They can be at a local retailer, because they only stock what they sell.
Click here, I own a set of these and they are great.

225/70R14 is tallest and widest. And the wider the wheel the tire spreads out.

So if you do have 7" wide wheels you are in.

Biggest/widest 14 radial i know of that's available, is a 245/60x14.
And it's a T/A. 235/60 is more available. In more brands.

M&H makes a bias treaded drag tire (Basically a slick with tread) 235/60
Hoosier makes a 26/9.5x14 quick time pro, a slick with grooves.
Both are DOT, but a terrible choice for most street drivers.

245/60-14 is anything but tall

Compare the 2 sizes here

Thanks for all the input. Appears that 225/70R14 will be best in my circumstances.

I bought a set of 4 of these last year. Mounted them blackside out

And and then used a set of these in a 3/8inch white stripe

Tire Size Comparison

The difference between a 225/70 - 14 and a 245/60 - 14 isn't huge.

( 26.5"/2 ) - ( 25.6"/2 ) = 0.45"
Or approximately 3% shorter

Hopefully these questions are relevant enough to ask here...

What are thoughts about running a 235/60 14 on a 6" wide wheel?

Will 235/60's have any clearance issues on a 66 Coronet (rear only)?

Thoughts? According to tire size, a 235 should be on a 6.5 to 8.5 wheel.
A half inch wouldn't bother me, I'd run em.
Will a 235 clear? Probably, unless the wheel has a rediculous backspace. 3-3.5 bs, should fall on. 4+" bs, I'd definitely check first.
2" bs, probably won't fit.
Point being.... you'll have to do your own measuring, depending on the wheels you're using.

Thanks. I don't have the wheels yet, just PM'd a member here who is selling a pair but I don't know the backspacing.

In that case..... make sure he knows how to measure a wheel width. A wheel is measured from bead to bead, not overall width
In other words, a six inch overall width, could be a five or five and a half inch wheel.
I wouldn't run a 235 on a five.
