were the e60-15 tires available on early 70 cuda`s? if they weren`t-and i don`t think they were then all early 70 cuda`s had f70 14 tires apart from hemi cars. that might mean you couldn`t get 15 inch steel or rallye wheels until about dec/jan. can someone clear me up on this? when were 15 inch wheels available apart from hemi cars. what did the hemi convertibles have as a spare as a spacesaver wasn`t available for convertibles?

e60-15s was the only 15" tire available on 70-1 e-bodies, except for hemi cars which were f60-15

or aar/ta cars g60-15 rear, e60-15 front

thanx tony-so my nov built 440-6 cuda which has steel wheels in body color had e60 15 tires? i thought e60 tires weren`t availble on early cuda`s. if you`re saying they were then were they the first to have the tire size on them as opposed to the early f60 tires which didn`t have the tire size on them-still a bit confused.
on a side note i`ll be calling to place an order with tony`s parts-great website you have.

My Dec 69 Built 1970 Challenger was an original E60-15 tire car
It had the F60-s on it when I sold it because no E60's were avail at the time ( except originals)

great-dec car with e60`s-is it a hamtramck car? what does or did the tire decal say? thanx for the reply.

both early 1970 model year f60 + e60 tires didnt have the size in white

i believe the cnage to size tires came in late october/ early november time frame dependent upon plant + tire size

december car would be a "sized " tire

Bill/Tony-I talked with John from Kelsey Tire for months before he was going to announce they were going to come out with the E60-15.I had bugged him for years for them being I needed them for my car.So when he called one day and told me,we talked about the E60's and how he had obtain 18,if I remember right,blue prints from Goodyear showing all the different letter/number styles/fonts from about '68 thru the early 70's and none of them ever showed a E60-15 without the size in raised white letters.

dealer info

part two

E-60-15 had the size lettered on them from day one, there are no "no size" E-60's.

yes your correct

i had a senior moment there

hm,so where 15 inch wheels standard on cudas?i thought mine came with f-70 14 tires.built around dec -70.

15" where extra option?

i believe 15"was standard on hemi + 340 cars

Is there a source for this kind of historical information for the 1971 cuda models?

Yes and much much more! Great job by Alaskan TA

Great! Thanks.

I still have an original buildsheet from a 70 340 Cuda I junked back in the 80's. It clearly shows that the car came with F70-14s and not E60s. The sales literature for 70 340 Cudas incorrectly stated the 15 inch tires were standard equipment... it was not so.
