Tire suggestions for 69 vert
It's time to replace my tires on my 69 vert. They currently have P225 70R15 on rear and P215 70R15 on front. They are Firestone Eagle ST with raised white letters. I like the look, but now they have soft spots.
What are the best tires to replace them with a similar look?
thanks in advance,
Jim

P215/70R15 is closest to the original F70-15's that were oe on the car, but 225's should be OK all the way around. I have P215's on my '69.
Asking for tire recommendations is opening a can of worms here...we all have our likes and dislikes, but I'll give you recommendations based upon my personal experiences with the brands. I'm sure there are other good tires that I haven't tried.
Goodrich Radial T/A seems to be the standard...good quality and value, plus great looks in a raised white letter tire. Another great tire is the Cooper Cobra. It's been some years, but I once had Dunlop Qualifier GT's...also a good tire.
