Looking for some feedback from the Moparts community on the tire sizes being used on their A, B, or E-bodies equipped with 14" wheels.
I understand there are not that many choices for tires when it comes to 14" wheels.
Do you prefer all (4) tires to be the same size or the staggered look?
All feedback welcomed, but interested to hear from those not currently using reproduction polyglas tires.
Thank you in advance for your feedback!
How wide are the rims you have an what body platform do you have ? My preference is staggered, if I have a choice, but that screws you if you have a sure grip and you need to use the spare tire in your trunk .

I run FR70-14s. What are you looking to do? Show or go? These are for show, decidedly so. I’ve had ton trucks that handle better. The radials are mounted, the bias plys had to come off this car the day I brought it home.
I want my fair share

My preference is staggered, if I have a choice, but that screws you if you have a sure grip and you need to use the spare tire in your trunk . I've thought of that. Sometimes the fix for that might be to swap both front tires to the rear, then put the oddball tires on the front if they aren't too tall.

F70–14 redlines is what I run, but when playing around at the track or running a different class I run the M&H DOT muscle car bias ply. They come in 14” and you have to pay attention to notice it isn’t the F70-14 redlines on the car.
