Re: Fw: [Chrysler300] Coker tires

[Edward Mills Antique Tractors <millserat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

P225/70R14 are essentially same diameter and load capacity as P215/75R14 
which would translate back to old 205-14 (original 80 series radials) 
and G78-14 and 8.25-14 and ultimately 8.00-14. The P225/70R14 series 
radials are best equated to a vintage G70-14. A 9.00-14 (8.85-14 in post 
1965 speak) would best translate to the P235/75R14 or if such existed a 
245/70R14 but be aware that everything, even the P235/75R14 will have a 
somewhat wider cross-section and a much wider tread than the OE tires .

best, Ed
