jpg[/image]The ragtop has 255/60-15 on all 4. The other two had 235/70-15 15x7 front and 275/60-15 rear.




The 255's look good on the convertible..

Maybe I'll just go with that, so I can rotate them.

Easy enough, or is it?

Go 225 or 235/70 on the front.




I once tried mounting a 235-70-15 on a 15x7 rally on my 70 Road Runner and it was too big in diameter and rubbed the fender at the front of the wheel opening.




I have 235/70/15's on 7" steelies on the front of my SB and they rub at full lock. I wanted to go with them because they are almost a perfect height match to the 275/60/15's, but if I had to do it again I'd use 225/70/15's. I think a 235/60/15 doesn't have enough sidewall compared to the 275/60 and therefore doesn't look quite right.

235/60/15 on front and 275/60/15 on rear. My buddy has that on his 70 RR convertible, and they look great. On my 70 Sport Satellite, I went with 235/60/15 all way round . . . in my opinion they look great and no rubbing anywhere - on Magnum 500 15x7 wheel.

I went 235/60 up front, 275/60 out back...

Had 255/60's all the way around...

235's took a lot of the fight out of the steering wheel(manual steering)...
