I need to put some tires on my 57.  The tires on the car now have been there since 1981.  They are Allstate 205 75 14's, and actually don't look bad, but I don't trust them.  I want at least a narrow white stripe and don't want to pay $185.00 a tire like at Cokers.  I have found 215 70 14's with an S speed rating at a few places.  The 215 70 14's are supposed top be equal to 750 14's or F 14's.  I couldn't find any 225 70 14's with a narrow white stripe.  The stripes are .6-1" wide on all the tires.  I have found Kuhmo's, Coopers, Firestone FR-380's Bridgestone Turanza's and a Yokohama's too.  All of these are reasonably priced, $45-$61 dollars, except for the Bridgestones which are $85.00 and T speed rated.  I would like 70 series tires, and actually the 225 70 14's, if I could find them, might be a little wide for my wheels.  I would be interested to hear what others have used or suggestions.  The 215 70 14's are about 26" in diameter, maybe a tad short for my speedometer?  Heck, my speedo doesn't work anyway, I've been using my GPS...but I have to get it fixed.
