A couple thoughts on tires for your new 300-F -
The 300-F was the last of the Chrysler 300 Letter Cars fitted with 14" rims and wide whitewall tires. The 300-Gs were fitted with 15" tires, even though the other 1961 Chrysler models still wore 14" wide whitewall tires.Over the past few years, fewer and fewer 14" tires have been available for our purchase.
Currently, three companies offer tires that approximate the original 9.00x14 tires fitted to 300-Fs - Diamondback, Coker's American Classic and Kontio.
The tallest 14" tire size by Diamond Back is 225/75R14 - about 1/2" shorter than
Some of our Club members have been dissatisfied with their recent purchases of these American Classics
American Classics offer 235/75R14 tires that are the correct size for our Fs - 27.87" tall.

I am awaiting the arrival of this car I bought last week, but the records show the tires are about 19 years old, they are Coker P235/75R14 with 2 1/2 inch whitewalls. I am thinking I will need to get new tires since they are so old. I have bought Coker tires before, would like to have radials, but am wondering if I have any options besides Coker in that size or some other size that might work. Thanks for any ideas.
