Here is the tire size listing from the dealer data book. It shows 2 14" sizes available. You can check with Coker Tire for repops.

I'm pretty sure everyone will agree, they were either Goodyear or Firestone (I haven't seen a '66 or '67 Mopar with Firestones & your car probably used the tires from the '66 model year).

Here's the '66 Valiant page (from Hamtramck-Historical) looks like all 6.95-14



& as far as reproductions go -

Kelsey Tire makes a Goodyear 6.95-14 "Blue Streak" (at $360 each )

Coker Tire makes a Firestone E70-14 "red stripe" (at $193 each)

"if" this is your car - looks like "blackwall" - I can almost make out the tread pattern - I don't see "Barracuda" wheel covers

---

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PRICEY if thats the car in the manual, the promo pic i have shows the plain wheel covers too , not the bolt on wheel cover(the one that the lugnuts come thru) but there was one in the car looked to be original to the car now i dont know

A loose wheel cover 40+ years later is hardly evidence of original equipment.

the high performance Goodyear 6.95-14 "blue streak" tread

agreed but what cover"should " have come with the wider wheels? or is it all a guess at this point

it also has the long chrome lugnuts that "look " to be original to the car as well

Quote= what cover"should " have come with the wider wheels?

I don't think the wheel cover installed would be related to the wheel width. There were different covers available as options so the car would get whatever was ordered. The parts book does have a guide for wheel size / tire size.

You might be able to find out for sure by ordering the build record from the Chrysler museum. http://wpchryslermuseum.org/newsroom.do?id=390&mid=135

Just my

I would be interested in knowing if you find out for sure.

i have the copy of the ibm card, broken down by chrysler historical under wheelcovers it says 3 sport 14in

Tires on the IBM card are "28" = D70-14 "red stripe" NYLON cord tires.

..... so, the closest available are the Coker reproduced Firestone WIDE OVAL SUP-R-BELT fiberglass belted.
Originals, if Firestone, would've been WIDE OVAL DELUXE CHAMPION.

Red stripe tires would look great with the red interior!!

youre a magician!!!!! lol how do i find out more? can ya break the card down all the way? what else am i missing?

I believe the Polyglas didn't become available on a Mopar until '69.
They would be an alternative & a good choice!!
