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!!!

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.
