Does anyone still sell 14" tires

[chevyman0429]

Gentlemen are there any companies around anymore that sell 14" tires looking for some 50 series raised white letter tires and I haven't been able to find anyone that still sells these. Picked up a very nice set of 14" cragars and I need to replace the tires. Thanks

I guess your looking for a modern radial. A few still offer a decent 14" selection but 50-Series I think is slim to none. For white letter, would have to be BFGoodrich's or the brands by TBC Corp (http://www.tbcbrands.com/) through tire outlets which typically have a "Cosmetic Performance" line (many names, many labels).

Bias-Ply reproduction offers some other ranges.

Its' not easy. I've about given up on the Bias-Ply look as sizes are limited (most are too tall). Even 15" are limited selections. Trying to stay away from busy sidewalls too.

As Paul referred,it's slim pickings out there for an authentic new 14"Bias-ply tire.Especially a 50 series..I did find a pair of older 14" 50's that were just too far gone and beat.Makes sense as I can't see anyone buying em 35 years ago not using them for what they intended.
Here's a good representation of what's on the 14" Bias repro market today.(15" incl. in here too)

I just bought a nice set of cragars and the back rims are 14"/10" and just looking for something that would look good on the 10" rim for my 69 Chevelle. I really like the pro tracs however there not available anymore in 14's that I can find.

I just bought 2 Pro-Tracs P275/60-15 from Summit.
Very nice.

[chevyman0429]

Yes I really like the look of these tires kind of a day 2 look but doesn't appear they can be bought in 14". I also like the Bf Goodrich tire but the biggest I see is 245/60-14 and according to the supplier the max wheel width they recommend is 8.50 wide

[SmallHurst]

As for Goodyear reproductions, G70-14's are the widest 14". For the 15", I can go as wide as the L60-15 Polyglas (equal to a 275/60-15 radial). E60-15 are the smallest 60 series 15". If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. My cell is 816-654-3400.

Check with GTO DON. I have a pair of Goodyeay L60-14 that on s scale of 1-10 are a good 8.5. 1 imperfection on 1 tire, otherwise darn near perfect. I haven't thought about selling them, but you never know.

[chevyman0429]

Maybe a goofy question but can someone explain to me what the numbers mean on tire sizes. I know the rim size but is there a break down on the first two sets of numbers and how about he letter that placed in front of the 50-60 number. If that makes any sense lol

Paul that's exactly what I was looking for and exactly what I thought thank you Sir

Not sure if you are after new or used tires. I found some on my local Craigslist - they look pretty good!
I'm guessing shipping to the US from Canada would be an expensive proposition, but, think of that great exchange rate! Good luck!
