<VV> FC Tire Recommendations

[EVERETT WILSON]

Bob,

205/75-14 Cooper Trendsetters are what I have on mine.   They ride nice and are 
quiet and so far have held up pretty well in about 14,000 miles of driving. 
 They do well in wet or dry conditions also.  

Theyre about 75 bucks a pop plus the fees.        Heres a link -

Ive tried the cheapo line XR-4 line at discount tire and they were shot at 
10,000 miles.  

The wal-mart house brand, Douglas, I think they are,  held up better, but the 
coopers are by far the best of the three.

I have goodyear viva 2's (walmart captive line, I think) on my 67 4 door and 
they are also pretty good.  I have 195/75-14 on the car.  They are a few dollars 
less and I think they also come in the 205/75 size as well.

Sizing - 205/75 makes the speedo about 3 mph off.   I expect the 195s would be 
slightly more and might give you a little better off-the-line accel, but 
frankly, mine does just fine.   When I measured tires against an original spare 
I had (7.00-14) the 205s were almost spot-on in diameter as well as measured 
from ground to hub on the vehicle.

hth.

I've got to replace two tires on my '64 Greenbrier.  Has anyone  purchased 
tires recently that they would recommend--for the correct 14" FC  rims?
