Re: OEM Tire Information

[<62-65-mail-list-club@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

700-14 was the 8 cylinder OE tire size for your 1962. (Not from my memory though, I had to look it in my files. LOL) 

Brand? Hum. Good question. Goodyear is a high possibility. 

700-14 translates to modern size P195/75R14 in this case per this chart

So you can of course search Canadian tire store for that size, if you don't care about the "Original Equipment" markings, 
just the look of the tire, size wise. 

FYI: Here is a general reference article about tires for classic cars.

P.S., I have a set of 4 original equipment tires that came off a 12000 mile 1964 Dodge 440. I can look at the brand 
 markings if you want. Goodyear comes to mind.  Maybe BF Goodrich? The tires look good but obviously only good for a 
non-driver, like a museum car, or as a "look only" spare tire. Too old for safe use.

Thanks,
Gary H.
