IN THE FUTURE I WOULD LIKE 15" OR 16" CRAGER SS BUT FOR NOW I HAVE TO STICK W/STOCK '70 SS WHEELS. ANYBODY HAVE RECOMMENDATIONS AS TO TIRE SIZES. I AM THINKING 225X60 FRONT AND 255X60 REAR. HAS ANYBODY SEEN NEW GOODYEAR EAGLE II NASCAR (RAISED GOLD LETTERS)ON AN 'A' BODY? CAR IS STOCK '70 SS W/UPGRADED BUSHINGS, SHOCKS, ETC - THANKS

225/60 seems kind of small for the large wheel well. 225/70 is very close to the F or G70 stock equivalent and look really good. 245/60 I think is a good second choice as they are about 1" shorter and 1" wider that the 225/70's. I don’t think anyone makes a 255/60/14". I have also been looking at the gold letter eagles, as I think they would be a nice change from the BFG's.Goodyear does not offer a lot of sizes in 14", but do have the 225/70. Ideally I would like the 245/60 in the Goodyear’s, but no avail. www.tirerack.com (http://www.tirerack.com) is a good source for sizes and availability, plus prices are pretty good as well. (Although my local Costco is hard to beat once you figure in mounting and balancing on BFG's). Just my opinion.
