My first thread here on the Hamb so be gentle Gonna buy some white walls to my Star Chief -54. Got some black coated 15" rims (6" width) that needs some white walls. The question, does 670 fit on the rim or should i go with 710s? or even higher? It's like 380$ each on the firestone 670 tires here in Sweden so i don't wanna buy the wrong tires.... Could buy "General" tires 670-15 (3 3/4" ww) for 240$ each but never heard of that mark before? Guess it's kinda **** due to the (in sweden) cheap price? Enlighten me!
it will fit, my 54 ford has early 70's ford steel rims on the front, width are like 6" and im running 670 15's on it. also my 58 ford truck is the same way with the same tires on it....you shouldent have any trouble................john
Okey ty. But, Saw this site: http://www.widewhitetires.com/firestone.html And the max recomended rim width for 670-15 is 5". According to the diagram on the site i should go with 710s. But still, i don't know what to order... Guess i need more feedback.
You're Pontiac had 7.10 X 15 when new. Back then, if someone wanted to "improve" the tires, they usually went bigger (7.60 X 15), not smaller.
They'll work, I've had 'em on my '29s front for 3 years on later model 6" rims, wear is even and good. I run 32 lbs of air in 'em.
okok! Think i'm gonna order 710-15 just to be sure. Only 30$ extra each. Thank y'all for your replies
I'm running Firestone 6.70X15" www on my 15"X7" rims. They fit and look great. Been on there for 5 years with no issues. Also no issues with general tires either. Here a pic on my truck. Posted from the TJJ App for iPhone & iPad
Looks good! Hmm now i don't know what size to order again... My mind playing tricks on me... difficult decisions...
60 bucks buys some gas, or beer, or cigarettes, or BBQ, little bit a pot, a cheap ho, it's your call. ;o)
General is a well known brand in the US, not top of the line, but a good tire. They're original equipment on new full size trucks, I've got a set of radials on my daily that are holding up well
They are very cheap here in sweden. General 230$ each, Firestone 360$ each. But i'll think i go Firestone tho. Seems more legit then General, or maybe it's just the name you pay for.
