Greetings, I'm looking to purchase new rubber for 4 SBP stock Formula S wheels (14" x 5.5") that I recently obtained. The current tires on the rims are a mix of 3 different sizes. The wheels will be going on my DD '68 Valiant w/ stock ride height & I have yet to upgrade my brakes.

I tried doing a forum search here, but my Crackberry cell isn't cooperating w/ the webz as usual.

I'm leaning towards 185 70 R14s for my new purchase.

Any help is appreciated.

I'd run 195 75 r14 on the front and 215 75 r14 on the rear. Since stock suspension isn't the best a thicker sidewall will definitely help with ride quality. The thing with those sizes is that they are a bitch to find. Get the road hazard protection and cooper tires (thick tread).

Thanks for the reply VBoyWonder. I'm currently running 225 70 R14s in the rear & only one 195 75 14 Formula S up front. The other is a 205 75 R14. :shock:

It's definitely time for four matching steelies sporting new rubber.

Today I was thumbing through the June '09 issue of Mopar Muscle mag.

I spot Greg O's (forum member, as you folks prolly know)'69 Swinger.

Mopar Muscle says he's running P225 70 R14s on his front & P235 60 R14s out back.

Wheels are said to be 14 x 5.5"

Hmmm :?: Go figure
