I live in New England and every tire place tells me they either never heard of 175-75-14's or they havn't had them in years???


Where can I get them... are they hard to get in other parts of the country?

just find something close, doesnt have to be exact. Try a 185/75/14

look into Cooper tires. My old man has a tire shop and I'm currently running 175/75/14s on my van so I'd look into Cooper brand

185/75/14R is not bad, kinda a boobo tire.

I ended up with 185-75-14s I think they look at little lame though, just not quite the same look..time to call my friends in Cali and get a pallet of the right size up here..LoL


Thank god trhe P155-80-13's are still plentyfull for my blue caprice... that's all I'd ever roll on.. or Premium Sportway 5.20's of course..

Here's the ride I put the new tires on....


this pic is with the 175's

 

[D-Cheeze]

[blueouija]

Thanks... I give you a holla soon...

 

[ENVIUS]

i picked up a set of 175/70s made by hancook for 200 for the set...the guy i got em from has more...

 

[bigdaddy805]

You should get the Cooper classic lifeliner tire that comes in 175/70/14. That is the only size you should put on 14's.

 

[Frogg]

when i had 14''s i only rode 175/75-14 Hercules...

 

[aleigh-n]

what's better Hercules/Hankook/Cooper?

 

[<<<WhiteTrash]

Can anyone get the 1 1/4 whites in Hercules or Hankooks? I JUST NEED ONE DAMN IT!!!!

Hook it up..

 

[59Impala]

are you insane?

company sizes very alot, my 185's are identical to other companies 175s. Unless you bastards and going to put a tape measure on my tires to see if they are worthy, you wont notice them. By the way, we are talking 5 milimeters per side difference......if its that critical....hmm, well, eat shit.

LMAO, I believe you have won that arguement. What company is the tires you got? A friend of mine got some goodyear 185's but they are starting to look odd.

 

[59Impala]

I think they are silver bear on it right now. I am pretty limited in this area, not much ww selection. They ride good though, if it was all about the look they would be 13s....the 14s offer a little better ride and safety for a street car. No use in me buying some high dollar 5.20s when these cars are pretty hard on tires, and I cant get them locally if im in a pinch. (which happened 2 days ago, needed one that day, and I was able to get them)

If you cant get the exact tires, dont sweat it guys, its not just about the tires.......no point in being a sheep.

on my friends, I didn't notice it muc until he dropped the ride. then the tires look real balloony. Is there any difference in the brands (Remminngton/Hercules/Hankook etc.). I was looking at some lopro tires and they seemed to differenciate around the tred life and performance. Does this apply to these tires as well?

I went to shops asking for 175/70's and they told me things like they never made them with a ww, that size doesnt exsist, 185/70s are the same.but 175/75s aren't hard to find. the 175/70s are being discontinued by most manufacturers, at least the white wall versions that is.

175/75-14Rs look great,I think the phatter ones would be okay, if you had to.as long as there whitewall and not drag race lookin,it'll be alright.

I'll be getting my first set of 175/70's in that mail this week from dickcheese

by the way,I saw some 175/65-14s in a catalogue, anyone ever used them?
