    For Sale 69 Chrysler 15" Deluxe wheelcover (part# 2881759 ?)

    ...(and did find some now) were for the optional wheel covers for the 1970 and 1971 Chryslers that were highlighted in a previous post regarding Nexen tires. This cover you are showing indeed has very similar design highlights but not really the same overall. This is a link to that post: My...

    Tire Reccomendation - '78 New Yorker 4DR

    You really can't go wrong with either the Hankook or the Nexen tires as both are very good tires. Like @Camshaft above, due to the higher load rating and the better looking sidewall, I ended up preferring the Nexens. I have a set of them on my 1971 Chrysler New Yorker and couldn't be more pleased.

    Tired tires

    My New Preferred Whitewalls for C Bodies All Nexen tires 235/75/15 are whitewalls and have a higher load rating than the Coopers but the Hankook tires have been very good as well, but not generally available here either in California.

    My 1969 Dodge Polara Wagon

    I am not so surprised that you went with the Nexen tires but moreover that you selected whitewalls! Good for you young man!! I'm impressed! With those wheel covers too! You have great taste...........

    My New Preferred Whitewalls for C Bodies

    I do not have enough miles on my new Nexen tires to say much more than they ride nicely, corner well and look great (they don't squish under load quite as much as the Hankooks, but the Hankooks are not really bad either - just a sign of the slightly higher sidewall strength of the Nexen is all)

    New Tire Advice

    Like @bigmoparjeff I elected to go with Nexen as well. Stiffer side wall due to higher load rating improves the underinflated look of the Hankooks on our very heavy vehicles and the sidewall appearance is much improved over the Hankooks due to a less busy design and unusual name. I do not have...

    My New Preferred Whitewalls for C Bodies

    ...at their site, they only show the Hankook Sinergy ST with a white wall. It too is a very good tire in the absence of being able to find the Nexen brand up there yet. The Hankook has the standard load rating which is why I prefer the Nexen that has a much higher rating, but again, the...

    My New Preferred Whitewalls for C Bodies

    ...in Southern California in the last couple of months the Hankook Optimo 724 white walls with the 108 load rating are showing backordered. The Nexen N-Priz white wall is only recently available anywhere as far as I am aware which makes me believe they are new to the U.S. market. Their load...

    Get your Hankook Optimo H724 WW tires while you can!

    I just realized that America's Tire Company now offers a Nexen 235-75-15 in a whitewall and an XL load rating of 109S XL, which is even a higher load rating than the former Hankook Optimos which I recall were a 108S XL load rating. So I will likely order a set of these to try them out. I even...

    My New Preferred Whitewalls for C Bodies

    I have not had this brand before either but given my good results with the Hankooks over a number of years now, I have come to trust the South Korean brands and this one has an even higher load rating than the Hankooks, which is some measure of sidewall strength and durability. The Koreans also...

    My New Preferred Whitewalls for C Bodies

    ...H724 with the 108XL load rating I searched for the next best alternative and came up with one that is even better in my view. It is the Nexen whitewall with an even higher 109XL load rating! The price is a little higher than the former but not much and to me well worth it. The tire doesn't...

    NOT MINE 1972 Dodge Polara Coupe - $3,000 - Dallas, Texas

    ...I have parted in the past, I was looking for better tail lamp housings for my 71 New Yorker two door I showed a week ago equipped with the new NEXEN tires and I recalled seeing a 72 bumper and grille assembly as I was digging through all the bumpers. So I went out back again and indeed there...
