I'll second the vote for BFG Radial T/A's, especially if you like the
RWL look. I have these tires on both my cars and have been very
pleased. I'd buy another set without hesitation.

John, You will want a 7" rim for a 235/60. 8" would be even better but mine
are 7" and work real well. If you don't find a good local source, Summit ha

Thanks Mike,
Will those fit on stock rims? I have aluminum slots on the car, which is
sort of an old-school look, so I think I will also go with the old school
look of raised white lett
ons.
Hope this helps.

Likely it is a 6 inch wheel then. If you have a big caliper, you can
measure the outside of the rin and subtract 1 inch. This is usually
accurate for aluminum wheels.

John,
What is the width of the wheels you have? You can squeeze 235/60 onto a
6 inch wheel, but it will look a bit funny. 7 inches would be fine for
a 235/60 tire. As you found, Tire Rack has some
ng at the Dunlop GT

I don't know the "old school" tire sizes, but for 195-70-14, the "70" in the
modern tire size has nothing to do with width.
For your example,
Oh man, aren't those really small? I used to run 225/70 15s, and they
fill the wheel well nicely.
I tried on 3 sets for my front tires before I found the right size. I
can get the size to you tonight if you want? They are 205/70 15s ( I
think). I wanted a skinnier wheel, but still need

A 205 is wider than 195, but narrower than a 215.
