Hello From Texas!
So, I have been googling the heck out of this but not finding the information I need. Took the 69 Convertible out for a drive a couple days ago (it was 77 degrees here in Texas) and had a blast. I got to thinking about tires. The current tires on the car are Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Position, 205/55/15 on the front and 225/50/15 on the rear, mounted on Crager SS mags, 7" and 8" I believe. These tires are 23.9" tall. Anyway, the tires, which look like brand new, with only maybe 3000 miles on them, are old. I believe they are probably 20 years old and should be replaced. And of course, Bridgestone no longer makes these tires, nor does it appear that anyone makes tires in these sizes anymore in the same model. What are the recommendations for 15 inch tires for a late model? Should I be looking for tires taller than 23.9"? Must be a sign of the times, but seems like very few manufacturers make 15" tires anymore, and I really don't want to buy new rims too. I also like blackwall tires on the car, and BF Goodrich tires seem to be all white letter.Any thoughts on what fits? Todd in Texas69 Convertible, LeMans Blue, #3388
