I know we have probably been all over this more than once but is anybody making a 14" WW tire anymore? Outside the specialty places like Coker ore Diamondback? My brother is looking for his '68 Mustang vert.
 
I have 14" Firestones on my 65 Coronet that I bought new about 5 years ago. I damaged one about a year and a half ago and had a heck of a time locaring a replacement. I called a couple of local Firestone stores and finally located a match one store had in stock. I was told all production of 14" whites was discontinued.

Cooper may have some avaliable, he might check with one of their dealers.
 
BTW, while surfin, I came across another person too stupid to breath.
Here's what happens when you don't match the wheel to the tire....

That's probably an 8" wheel with a 175 tire. HowTF they got the bead to seat is beyond me.
 
Thanks guys. There's more available than I thought there would be. I got word today that he found some Uniroyals.
 
I have Uniroyal 215/75-14's in white wall, and what a crappy tire they are. The sides bulge like they are having puppies, and the tires grumble above 65, also the car seems to be riding along, and around the bead. I would recommend the Hancook. The car drove fine with bf Goodrich 215/70's. I had to put 35+ lbs to somewhat control the endless squirming. The tire company has since received reports of the same complaint, and doesn't sell them any more. But I'm stuck with them. The best tires I ever bought were Michelin X 225/75-14's. Unfortunately they haven't been in production since 2005 or so.

Some good info guys, thanks. I just sent him a link to the thread.
 
My uniroyals were tigerpaw AWP, but not II. Maybe the newer tires are better. I know I'm putting 215/75 Hancooks on my next set of road wheels.
 
Very little acetelene for those of you that are going to run out to your garage and try it!
 
Starter fluid or straight ether workz very well too. One 360*, count to 3 and touch it off. Best done with a piece of rolled up newz paper tho'.(Ah little distance might save the eyebrowz 'N the 'stash) Twice around with an 11X22.5 and it workz well too and I'm not afraid to admit I've done it many times and we won't talk about split rimz today, Jer
 
That and if not done properly those split rimz can and will remove body partz. Why do you think tire cagez were invented? Drive ah fork lift over and drop the forkz on it too if you happen to have one parked in the corner! Necessity iz ah mother

The less anyone knows about split rims ........ the better....!!!!

My 64 200 crew cab had split rims....... NOBODY in the tire industry would touch them .... Even if you offered to pay double for a new tire..... NO WAY.

I would install the tires ....... hammer on the lock ring ....... put three ratchet straps around the tire/rim, grit my teeth and hold my breath. I finally replaced them with later model 8 lug 16's from a big Dodge van.

I'm sure i'll live longer now.
