Re: [Chrysler300] Another Tire Question

But I thought that the radial exact to the 7.60 was the 225 not 235?? If the 235 is more exact to the 7.60, the, yes, I’d rather go with that.

thanks

Personally, I would not go with the 225s as they seem to be too small compared to the original tires, especially in terms of tire height. I see no downside to going with the 235/75/15 that are available as radials in a 3/4" whitewall, which is all that is commonly available these days. I used to get Cooper Trendsetters, but I am not sure they are still available. I did get a set of the Cornell whitewalls at Pep Boys (their store brand) which seem to be a pretty good tire. None of the commonly available whitewall tires are very wide anymore but the Cornells were about the best I could find in terms of appearance and size.

Hi again guys. I know we’ve been through this before, but I can’t seem to find my tire emails from the past.

I need new radials for my H. I understand the original tires were 7.60-15, and the radial replacement is 225/75R15, and it’s supposed to have a 1 1/8” whitewall. I can’t seem to find this 1 1/8” WW or even a 1” WW in the 225 size. Does anybody know where?

Thanks again

I believe that John Hertog ran one of the new starters in his cars

The info might be in one of the back issue newsletters
