Tossing these on the Coronet

[patrick66]

Found these on FB marketplace last month. I'd intended to put these on my son's Skylark for Christmas, but I instead got him new tires for it. When I bought these, I had to have them for my own!

These are 14x7 Keystone Klassics with very old BFG Radial T/A 235R65-14 tires. Tires are going away, of course. Not sure how these were stored. They "look" good, but all four have cracking between the tread.

I'm going to install new Radial T/As in March or so. These will look pretty magnificent on the Coronet! The wheels are unilug Mopar and GM bolt patterns. Bought nice new nuts and washers. Should be fun to do some Route 66 shows and cruises, alternating between it and the Imperial!

Very cool.
A buddy of mine has a set of Keystones to put on his 1966 Satellite

Wow Patrick, I’m not used to seeing anything on the Coronet besides the chrome torque thrust style ones you got on in your current profile picture. I those will be a nice change of pace and look great once they are on! Waaait a minute, I thought you sold the Coronet??! I really could of sworn you made a post that you sold it, I dunno maybe I’m goin crazy and thinkin its the Imperial. Anyways my stepdad replaced the tires on his red ‘67 Coronet 500 too because of the same issue like your current tires have with the cracking in the tread, well and that they looked terrible with the whitewall being a fake redline and the red starting to come off and show the white. Here are some before and after pictures. They are still 14 inch… for now, because the Magnum rims are showing some wear with the black and that one of the lug nuts keep coming loose. The plan someday but likely soon, is to put on new 15 inch rims and tires on. @Cheapsunglasses
