    Tyres - whitewall sizes

    It's lucky I hadn't ordered new tyres based on that receipt. The rears are 235/75/15 and the fronts are 215/75/15 - rears are both coker, front has 1 coker and another I didn't write down. That's interesting because there's 0.6" height difference in sidewall, yet the car looks pretty much dead...

    Tyres - whitewall sizes

    Haha, yeah - if only. Looks like our govt is going to sell us up the river though to people who are openly calling for more power and a European army. Bad times. I don't have to think about them when I'm messing with my Fury.

    Tyres - whitewall sizes

    Yeah honestly it's so bad that I might consider getting some imported by the people who brought by car over - stick them in the trunk. Where's a good place to get American Classic tyres cheap? I think I'm leaning towards them even though the wall is slightly bigger. More tread footprint while...

    Tyres - whitewall sizes

    Yeah it was as someone above suggested, looks like they just fitted what they had. The 2-1/2" wall measures closer to 2-7/8, the 2-7/8 is closer to 3" but the very outer 4mm or so is peeling. It looks like getting a spare set of steel wheels would be a good idea because these could all do with...

    Tyres - whitewall sizes

    Unfortunately the looks are really important, our roads vary between 'small potholes', 'very good' and 'looks fine but the car bounces up and down wildly' - that last one was terrifying, I thought the wheels were going to lift off or the bottom crash down. Proper rural area, they pretty much...

    Tyres - whitewall sizes

    I should have said - my car is a 69. I'm pretty sure it's been lowered a bit. What I've found in the UK so far are (with stripe sizes): Coker Classic (>3") BF Goodrich Silvertown (2-7/8") American Classic (3") Diamond Back (3") I think the first three are all actually made by Coker. I'm...

    Tyres - whitewall sizes

    He got a pretty good deal, they were $150 each - but that was back in 2006. They're going to cost more than twice that now in the UK.

    Tyres - whitewall sizes

    Oh I realise they're not exactly the correct thing for the car (only towing station wagon has this size listed in the handbook), it was just the difference in width of the wall between the two tyre pairs, started to wonder if it was done to try to make them look more 'even' since the fronts are...

    Tyres - whitewall sizes

    A small and strange question - so I found the tyres on my car are 12 years old, so it's time to get them replaced. I found the original receipt in the glovebox, car uses 235/75/15 Coker whitewalls all round, but for some reason 2 were purchased with 2-1/2" walls and the other 2 are 2-7/8" Does...
