Hot Rods Tire Help for a '32 street rod

Hello,
A friend wants to purchase some new tires for his '32 4-door street rod. He has 15" wheel vintique wheels.

Tire sizes he wants are (they are radials):
165/80r15 front
235/80r15 back

Any idea if anyone offers that range of tires in the same tread pattern? What do you guys suggest?

Thanks!!

 

A Street ____? LOL

 

With RADIALS, yet!

 

Those sizes are available though your local tire stores Front = VW size but finding front and rear with matching tread and sidewalls might be a challenge as the big ones are pickup size.
Funny think is that Michelin invented the radials in 1946 or at least perfected them and they have been in use in the states since the late 40's. The state patrol ran them here in this state in the early 60's because they would handle better and handle high speeds better than the bias tires that were available.

Not sure I get the joke or insult from the first two replies. The car is a street rod, 350, auto. Don't most street rods run radial tires?

Thanks to the other two replies. I appreciate the input.

Not sure I have ever seen a 80 series tire before

 

Try Tire Rack, they list most tires. You can search by size, which makes it much easier as they also list the diameters. Good Luck, Carp.

nexen roadian ct8 185 r 15 - i think the apect ratio is 80
nexen roadian ct8 215 r 15 - i think the aspect is 70
commecrial van / pickup tyres
7 ply
same tread pattern
have the commercial designation if putting them on a pickup
low noise 71 db
ideal on 6j front and 7j rear
6j=7'' = 175mm = 5mm rubber each way
7j = 8'' = 205mm = 5mm rubber each way

excellent quality and priced well.

if you manage to find the 7'' wheels with the deeper backspace or the extra 5/8ths positive offset, IF you happen upon a 59.25'' rear axle, the track widths front and rear are not that far apart - thats if you are using a 48'' wide axle with the cheeby rotors and not the mopar versions.

 

Street Rods usually run round tires, especially if they are freeway fliers!

 

I just bought a pair of 165/80r15 of off Walmart. Com. Had them on sale for 49.00 each shipped.

Put them on a pair of 5" wide et 5 windows on my 31 tudor.

 

LOL , Street Rod is not spoken here..
