My broadcast sheet has the numbers 3 9 in the tires block. Maybe someone can chime that has a break down on the code numbers.LS23H8B235XXX

F70-14 comes to mind but I have no way of proving if I'm correct.

I want to find a similar sized 14 tire in a radial cause I'm gonna drive the wheels off this Hemi Dart! The original tires look great but are poor on the road.
Thanks for all your input!

You can fit an F70 sized tire in it , that's what I run on my 69 GTS

AH! That's why F70 came to mind. I ran them regularly on my 67.

With all due respect...........

ANY of those little 14" tires are not going to hook like a larger 15" D.O.T. sticky tire.

I'd look into an aftermarket 15X7" steel wheel and a J-60 or 235/60R-15 to upgrade.

I've got 14's on the front of my Scamp, and all the way around on my old Nissan p/u- and some of the 14" sizes are getting hard to find...

I owned a 68 383 4 speed convertible. Its O.E. tires were Goodyear Polyglas E70-14. Soon after my purchase in 1974 I installed E60-14/H60-14 with Ansen Sprints 14x6 and 14x7. I would run 15" in todays world. 255-60x15 rear 205-70x15 front.
