I stand corrected. And still like what I saw.

Correct, GA4.

I agree on the name “Nexen” looking more period-correct than “Hankook,” since I don’t remember the latter’s car tires being imported in the Seventies.
I think Ma Mopar puts Nexens on some new vehicles. (Based only on parking-lot observations.)
I’m not a big fan of charcoal gray; however, Fusies make it look really good.

I was sure I had posted my Nexen AH5 tire review, but I can't find it.
I would not hesitate to buy these tires again.
After some good long road trips and plenty of urban drives on the Nexen tires I have no complaints, very smooth, balanced well. Price was very reasonable.
Look correct, I was surprised at how narrow the tires looked compared to the coopers, but next to an original mounted L84/15 they were very close, the coopers tread looks wider, but the load rating is lighter on the coopers. 107 Coopers to 109 for the Nexen.

No slots on Imperial wheels?
Nope, solid. With the weight, they need it. My biggest worry on tight turns is loosing a wheel cover, but maybe the solid wheels are holding them on.
I found these 235s today and Coker is 50% off.
I had a set of Maxxis Marauders on my wagon years ago, they were a really good tire. Maybe the Maxxis white walls are as good.
No info on the Tornel, but might be old Cooper molds as the tires are made in Mexico and look like Cooper.

Looks good, hard tops need white walls.
The pontiac 8-lug wheels were options through the 1968 model year.
I just had a full set of these put on my '78 NY Brougham two months ago. They are quiet and ride smoothly. I am not disappointed with these.

I've had the 235 Hankooks on my '66 Imperial since I bought the car. I've been pretty happy with them, overall. I will probably go with the Nexen tires when I get around to replacing my current set, whenever that time rolls around...so to speak!
