what tire size for '67 R/T with 15 inch Magnums?

What tire size would you recommend for a 67 R/T with 15" Magnum 500 wheels? Looking for something in a redline, similar to what came on the car new, by appearance, but in a modern radial tire. Maybe something that I could get thru Sears? Thanks!

I put 275/60 on mine, Diamond Backs

'67 performance b-bodies had 7.75-14 red or white stripe tires (except R0/W0 cars), no 15"s until '68.

Personally, I'd go with a 235/60/15 on a 7" wide rim. Anything wider makes the sidewall bulge more than necessary and may compromise handling.


Having said that, Diamondback Classics lists a Redline BFG Radial T/A in 235/60/15 for $216ea.

225/70/15 gives a real NASCAR look.

To answer your original question, Sears has four tires in the 235/60/15 range, including a Goodyear Eagle at 116.85.

235/60's might look a bit short. I'd go 255/60's firestone indy 500's if it were mine.

235/60 way too low.. been there done that.. 255/60 is a good fit.
