Tyres

Steve, If you are driving your fastback and not concerned about points at a show I would suggest using modern radial tires.

If you are using a stock size wheel (14" X 5") the correct size would be 19575R14 though some use the 20575R14 which is just a little larger than an original 695X14 Bias Ply would be.

another nice looking size is 195/70-14. A good tire in that size is BF Goodrich Traction T/A. It has much, much, better traction that the Radial T/A's by the same maker.

give me a day or so - I think I have a pic of my dad's Hertz with Polyglass tires...

...The Goodyears I like are E60 and F60 Polyglas Gt.. I know they came out a few years after 65 but I would like to think some guys fitted them. They cost alot of money so am keen to know if any one has a photo of a car fitted with them...

I agree that the E60 and F60 15" Polyglas GT tires with raised white letters are great-looking tires. They define the musclecar era like no other vintage tires can. I'm not sure they will fit the early Mustangs without clearance issues. I've never seen any photos showing the "60" series on the 65-66 Mustangs. You'd probably have more success fitting the F70 or G70 series of Goodyear Polyglas tires. I used to run F70's up front and G70's at the rear on my former '65 Comet Cyclone with stock 14" wheels, and they fit fine with no interference. They almost looked as agressive as the 60 series...

Found some snapshots from 1992. Maybe this will help?
