I'm doing some preliminary research and I'm leaning towards:
BFG T/A raised white letter tires Front: P215/70/R14 Rear: P235/70/R15 Wheels: 14x7 Rally II'2 The original tires on the front were P205/50/R14. That size was ok, but I can't find that exact size. The rear tires were P235/60/R15. Looked somewhat meaty but I want more. Any thoughts and opinions are VERY welcome! I'm not well-versed in tire sizes and there's a guess factor here.

On a 7" rim, BFG doesn't recommend anything bigger than a 245 width tire.
Here's a list of all their available Radial T/A sizes: http://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/assets/pdf/radial_ta.pdf The above list also includes the overall diameter of the tires, which will be useful so you can make sure your new tires are the same diameter as the old ones (so your speedo will be accurate). |

firebird69racer,
Since mine will be a street car the tires on yours are bigger than I want -- good looking car though! Jon, I'll probably buy mine from Coker. They also have all the info on the BFG T/A series. Speedo calibration isn't an issue because it'll all be new anyway. I guess what would help are pics and sizes if you have anything close so I could see and compare visually. Thanks, John 1969 Firebird resto...doing my part to keep PY profitable....

if you are running 15x7 then you should be able to run P245x70R15 with out any problems. and it should fill the wheel well rather nice |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
