Hi all.

What brand and size white wall tires are people here using? What width is the white wall?

Thanks.

Regards,

René

Coker has BF-Goodrich and U.S. Royal.

Whitewall width depends on year:

'65 - 7/8"

'66 - 5/8"

You can order the Goodyear 695-14 Polyester 7/8 whitewall tire from Universal Vintage Tire in PA for $130.

Goodyear Integrity is a whitewall radial that looks strikingly similar to this tire although the whitewall is .5. Tire Rack has this tire and it may also be available at your local tire dealers.

Here's the stupid question:

Are Polyester and Radials the same?

Also, I'm in Australia and they don't ship outside the US and Canada. They don't look like real good driving tyres.

the Polyglas/Polyester style, are Biased ply construction, and are quite different from the Radial ply auto tires brought to us by the French, Michelin in the mid-fifties. [ maybe even earlier.?] If my memory serves me American manufacturers took their time adopting the " new" technology.
