TIRES, TIRES, TIRES
 

Gentlemen, Don't look behind you either. Here'stwo questions for ya. TIRES. I am looking for Goodyear Eagle GT II Tires ,which I know that theier are none around in the size I am looking for. My car has 255/70/15 the size from the factory, Will a 255/60/15 fit without any mods? Or I can keep 70's in the front with 60's in the rearI have already installed a composite rear spring. And does someone have these tires on a shelf somewhere. I heard goodyear dropped them but were going to start producing them again, is that true? Love this forum so I'll keep asking ? [8D]

sorry guys , I got my numbers messed up. I have 225/70/15 will the 255 fit without any mods and if I change to the 255/60 All I have to do is change the speedo gear to keep the ratio right,correct ?

RE: TIRES, TIRES, TIRES
 

Nope, no mods needed. Speedo gear yes. I had my wife clock me in her pickup, and I just read the speedo accordingly. 70 is 77. ;)

Hey Batesy80...
I run BF Goodrich TA's on my 73. The rears are 275/60-15 and up to that size the stock rim is ok. As Starship sez... you will have to change the speedo gear. My original was a 22 tooth, which read 72 mph when I was really goin 83. I went to a 19 tooth and now I am close to right on. I also run 235/60-15's on the front with no rubbing at full lock on the steering.
Good luck,
Wedge

Got a custom63 tooth in mine and I can hit 125 in first gear.....tops out at about 263. When I finally get that Isky sticker I ordered........look OUT.
lol......just kidding batesy....should be able to do it no-prob with just the speedo change.
If you want to know the joke about stickers....look at the "Engine Question" thred.....you'll prolly get a good laugh.
