My hella rockerbilly coker wide whites on my copper truck are shot, they're cheater slicks now!

I wanna do standard thin whitewall radials, as this really is a junk hauler and not a show truck.

So, what size? I'm guessing like a 200 -225 75 15? I'm assuming its a 6" wide rim, stock six lug '64 CHev.

Also, I'd be very interested in another set of those rims, already bead-blasted much preferred!

Thanks,
J

I think it is 225/75R15, rim with 6-8"

A H series converts to a 7.60- 15, which in metric terms breaks down to a 215R15 , 225/ 75/ 15 OR 235/ 70/ 15.The 215 R 15 is like a 78 - 80 series tyre.

It's probably closer to a P235/75-15.
Just measure the height of your tire and match it to the height of the radial. All the tire stores have a chart that gives the height and section width of each tire.
