1963 Catalina Tire Size Recco

[hvychev]

Can someone help me out…..I have a 63 Catalina with 8 lug 14” wheels. I want to add the closest to CORRECT BIAS PLY white walls to the car. Can someone link me to the correct style and size on Coker Tire?

My car originally had a code PO1

I believe the original tire was an 8.00 x 14. They didn't list aspect ratio then, but most were 78.

Have no idea which white wall you need. Bet someone at PY could help out.

Here is a link for the only one that popped up on that size. Don't know if this wide white is correct though:

Rusty Small can probably help you get what you need. Screen name is SmallHurst.

Thank you all!

Should be 1" white wall.

"PO1" sounds like the RPO for the full wheel cover (at least that is what it represents these days); not a tire RPO.

Don't know if this helps, this is my 63 Catalina, 8:50x14 B.F. Goodrich with 1" whitewall. Tires came from Coker. Standard size for 63 is 8:00x143 with 8:50 optional. Picture didnt load, will try again
