5.60-15 Tire Questions

[MailOrderMotion]

I'm doing some pre-Spring cleaning and ran across these near mint beauties. Any idea who made these ? At 25" unmounted, I'm thinking these would look great on a set of 15x4s. Anyone have them on a 67/68 or on a '69 ? Are they too short, too tall or just right ?

The DOT number should tell who made them.

I'm not having any luck figuring them out. It just might be rocket surgery.

I have a set of 5.40.15 mounted on 4" front wheels and they are just a tad too small for the needed height on my Camaro. I then mounted a set of the same tires in a 6.40.15 which is 27" and put them on another set of 4" wheels. Much better fit in my opinion.

I think the 5.60 look great on anything. You have to have some driving caution. They are VW tires after all and I actually saw a Cuda or Challenger with them taking a turn too sharp and too fast at a show some years back and the tire rolled off the rim.

Here are 5.60's on 15x4 Cragars on a 70 Nova.

I've got a set of Pro Trac 5.6 on my '69 Camaro and they are too short. I'm looking for something taller.

Dave - IMHO that tire looks too short to me. Wheel well needs to be filled out a tad more.

Just mounted these the other day and that extra 1.5" of tire height makes a big difference. I won't have the fenders back on until next week but anticipate these will fill the wheel well rather nicely.

Thanks for the info guys ! Seeing this, I think I'd be happier with the taller 6.4 tires.

Those look fantastic Graeme. What make of tire is that? Did you get those through Summit?

Coker Firestone 6.40.15 (Pie Crusts) and yes, through Summit

5.60 size but modern radial. Love the raised stance.
