Is the "Hancook" brand pretty much the only "common" tire now available in 185/75R-14? Thank you.

Only the left front on the '65 Valiant Signet convertible has the left-hand threads, the other three are right-hand. I painted little "L"s on the end of the studs to warn anyone removing the tire, but no guarantee they would even notice. Now that I have things apart during brake renewal, I might...

About six months ago I purchased a pair of P185/75R14 tires and now I need another pair to match. However, the local tire shops here (Mexico) tell me that size in just not available. How is it in the USA, same story? Thank you.

Removed and stacked the tires/wheels yesterday that I removed from our '65 Valiant Signet convertible. This afternoon I walked by and found one tire had given up its ghost.

How did the '71 Twister model (available only with slant 6 or 318) manage to employ the rallye wheels without the center caps? Was the wheel bearing grease dust cap plain or chrome? Anyone have an actual close-up photo? I have some rallye wheels and I want to duplicate whatever the Twister model...

... of left hand threaded lug nuts for early ABody. Funny thing is, between the two '65 ABodies in the corral, only one front wheel is left hand thread. The Signet convertible has a later junk yard 7 1/4 rear end with right hand threads, the left front still retaining the left hand threaded...

As far as I know, the 1965 Formula S Barracuda was factory equipped with Goodyear 6.95 X 14 tires.

Sometimes being an "expert" Mopar fanatic can actually work against you. Case in point, this '65 Valiant Signet Convertible which has been around the block more than a few times. We should know that through '69 model year or so, Mopars use left hand threads on the driver's side lug nuts...

Wanted to remove the tire on the rear of the '65 Signet convertible. First had to remove the "baby moon" to access the lug nuts. Tried by hand with a large flat blade screwdriver, nothing doing. That's when I noticed each time I leveraged the screwdriver against the rim, I was leveraging against...

Circa 1973 the first thing I did to my '65 Valiant four-door was to install some custom aluminum slot wheels on the rear axle with A60-13 inch tires. I believe they were Goodyear Polyglas GT's. Converted over to ten inch slicks once I got the motor/chassis set up for bracket racing.

Not including station wagons, I wonder what were the largest tire size that could be ordered on a factory new A Body Mopar for the ten year period '64-'74? Just bored today, I guess. Thank you.

I have some trim rings that only grab onto the rim in 4 places (4 large tabs), and some others that have more than 4 tabs. Is either version factory or would one be aftermarket? How many changes did Chrysler make with respect to attaching the trim rings? Thank you.

I did not expect a problem like this morning. Tried to swap a pair of 14" Rallye wheels (temporarily) from the front of the '65 Formula S to the front '65 Valiant Signet Convertible. The Rallye wheel will not slide all the way down over the front hub/spindle. There are enough threads on the...

Removed most of the rust, and painted my rallye wheels inside and out. Mounted two Sears Guardsman tires and had them balanced. A week later, driver's side front tire is flat. Scratch up the freshly painted rim a little trying to fix it. The tire tech found a small white sticker on the tire bead...

It used to be maximum recommended passenger tire pressures were 35 PSI, now I understand they have jumped quite a bit to 44 PSI. What has changed in tire technology to justify the higher pressures? I still run my tires at 35 PSI , seems like 40 PSI or 44 PSI would be a pretty stiff ride.

Going to replace my 20 year old front tires (195/70R14) on the '65 Formula S with a pair of Sears Guardsman (185/75R14) I purchased new (for spare tires) a few years back with date code "09". Should be good for driving around town anyway. Decided to splurge and have them balanced after we put...

Just curious.

I could not get a wet coat with a spray can of graphite rim paint (Duplicolor). I don't know how much closer I can get with the spray can. I will need to sand with 400/600 and try again. Those flakes (metallic?) seem to come out dry and fly all over the place. The propellant is either really...

The previous owner of my '65 Formula S installed a set of 14 inch rallye wheels, which I like. However, I only have one center piece and one trim ring. At first, was just going to paint them over in the original silver (argent?). Then I got to thinking, I have "carte blanche" and could re-paint...

The previous owner installed some Mopar factory 14 inch rallye wheels on my '65 Formula S. One of these days, I need to clean them up, paint 'em, restore 'em some. However, I only have one of the trim rings. My questions are: 1) Did all factory installed rallye wheels always include the trim...

I have mounted 215/701R4 tires on my 1972 Satellite Sebring Plus factory 14 X 5 inch rims. (I know, it's a Bbody but I also have two Abodies). Doing some internet research I find the recommended rim width for that tire is between 5.5 and 7 inches. I have already made two road trips and I thought...

Last two flat tires happened after having been parked at home for a couple of days. Here is the latest one from my '65 Formula S that happened a couple of days after having participated in a local car show. Still has the same tires on it when I purchased it about ten years ago (and the tires...

My three classic vehicles are all equipped with 14 inch wheels and I was wondering if 15 inch wheels are advantageous for some (any) reason? Thank you.

Just reading that since the atmosphere is already 78% nitrogen, offering to fill our tires with nitrogen has limited/no real benefits. I never noted any difference after several tire purchases at Costco.

Back in the 70's the aluminum slot wheels were popular. I purchased a pair to mount A60-13 Polyglass GT tires on the rear (7 1/4 differential) of my four door 1965 Plymouth Valiant. I remember they came with lug nuts that had flat washers. Well, they would not fit because the outside of the...

I ran VW Beetle sized 15 inch tires on the front of my 1965 valiant bracket racer back in the late 70's. They were mounted on those narrow aluminum centerline wheels with the various rivets all around the exposed portion of the wheel. Are these wheels still in production? If not, what happened?

It was recommended by a bystander to overinflate my G60-15 Goodyear Polyglas GT tires while bracket racing with a 3.23 open 8 3/4 rear end (383 automatic) which naturally was spinning the right side tire on launch. I don't remember if I went to 40 or 45 lbs. but the trick worked, consistent...
