Anything wrong with this size tire for a 65 barracuda? It'll save me about 15 bucks a tire over a 195/70/14 at tire rack. Thanks. kevin |

No, it'll fit the wheels fine. You'll have to decide if the resultant tire size will be okay with you. The $15 savings is on tires identical except for the size...? |

Interesting that there'd be a $15 price difference! Wonder why. I have these tires (195/70R14) and like them quite a bit on my '71. Overall tire diameter 195/65R14 = 23.98", 195/70R14 = 24.75". Don't remember if they make them in a 205-series, but that might be a better pick given that you have 5½" wheels. |

They have a 205/60/14 which is $59.00 each. I'm still saving 12 bucks a corner with the 195/65/14. I can put that towards finding 7/16 LH/RH lugs acorn lugs for the rallys. They had the 195/70/14's on sale last week for $45.00 but I missed it. The wife isn't too happy with ANY of this but she's being a good sport so I'm willing to compromise. |
