Title: What are some good size tires to run on Shelby 10 spokes?
Post by: BlackCobraKR on November 01, 2023, 01:22:28 AM
I am wanting to know what sizes of tires would be good to run on a set of Shelby 10 spoke wheels. Do you run the same size of tire on all 4 corners or are you guys running a little bigger tire in the rear than in the front?

I loved the look of 255-60-15s on the rear and 215-65-15s on the front. But that was for my FB. For a vert I'd do what Bill says. On my 70 Shelby I run 235-60-15s(fact tire size approx.) and on my 69 Mach1 I run 255-60-15s on the rear and 235-60-15s on the front only because I bought those "new" never used for less than half the price of brand new off of a store. If I was to buy new it would have been 215-65-15s on the Mach1. I think the 235s are a little big but that is what was on all 4 corners when I bought the car.

I got 235-60-15 on the back and 225-60-15 on the front.....no issues.

Not sure, but were you talking 67? or 66?
