Default 70 G.P tires

Sorry, new to this forum. Will get it figured out.
Opinions please on B.F. Goodrich Radial TA's for 70 G.P.
Car has 14 x 7 Rally II's .
Looked at 245/60/14's at discount tire. Anybody running these?
Also saw that 70 series were available. About 1"taller, but also 3/4" narrower.
Seen lots of G.P's running radial T.A.'s what size is everyone running?

On my G.P. I'm running 15" Radial T/A's, 7" wheels on front, 8" on rear, so it may not help you. My front tires are 245/60/15. The rears are 275/60/15.

If you want to stick with the 14" rims then a 225/70/14 is really the only way to go out of the sizes that are still available. It's very close in size to the original equipment tires. The 245/60/14 is way too short and doesn't fill the wheel well enough.

You have a lot more options if you move up to the 15" rims like Steve.
