Question: tire size
 

My 1971 Grande has P235/60 R14 F&R.
Could I put a somewhat wider tire on the rear?
Needs rear tires anyway and I want more rubber
on the road. The rear end is limited slip 2.65
I have been told.

Thanks

mike

Question: tire size
 

I'm restoring my 72 mach and I have wider rims on the back than on the
front. The tires are 60's all the way around, but they really "fill out" on
those wider rims!!!

You have any pics of what that looks like? I have a '71 myself and am
trying to decide what to do.

Question: tire size
 

Thanks. but I think my personal preference is to have the same size all
around. I am more the cruiser than pulling the front tires off the ground.
I am still pondering some 16 inch wheels with a 245 series tire. Only issue
is 16 inch Cragars are damn expensive.
