tanda62 Posted July 18, 2022 Report Share Posted July 18, 2022 I am about ready to get tires for Ava my 63. What came off her were GR78-15 with a Section Width of 8.4" and Diameter of 28". I have 16x6 wheels from Rocket Racing and looking around it seems a 205/70 R16 tire would be a close match with a Section Width of 8.2" and Diameter of 27.3". This car will be a daily driver in North Florida so no "winter" driving. I am also putting in electric steering, have Turner disc all around and flanged axles. So with all that information, does anyone have a recommendation for tires? Does this size make sense? I have looked at Continental ContiProContact and Firestone Destination LE2. Anyone mount these? Any others someone is using? Thanks for your help, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger Posted July 19, 2022 Report Share Posted July 19, 2022 I like Cooper tires…but there are many quality brands out there. Tires are a big investment…I consider them like brakes…even the best is barely good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanda62 Posted July 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2022 Bill, Thanks for the offer but I think I want to go with the taller tire to fill in the wheel well that much more. Since you are looking at Goldline tires have you checked out these options: https://dbtires.com/product-category/tires/type/goldlines/ https://www.cokertire.com/tires.html?sidewall_style=4396 Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
