I bought a set of Coker 6.95X14 US Royal("Safety 800") bias ply for my 66 K-Code restoration. I had assumed these were correct tires for concours trailered class. These are tires Coker recommends. The inflated diameter is 26.75" and will not fit in the designated trunk location - the hold-down hook won't reach the floor bracket. We tried a very old 6.95X14 Firestone "500", which came on the car. It's diameter was 24.25". It fit OK, not great, but , at least, we could get it locked into it's proper location.
Has anyone else had this problem? Isn't tire diameter important for accurate odometer readings? Is there a specified tire dia. for K-Codes? I've been told some later cars had an indent in the rt. wheel well to make more room for tire.
Thanks!
