It looks better horizontal.


I measured one of my 670-15 US Royals (not mounted), and it's 89" circumference. That's 28.33" tall!!!

My 640-15 BF Goodrich Silvertown's fit well on my 69 camaro and should also on the nova.

That pic is with borrowed 560-15 Pro-Tracs?

Sorry I wasn’t very clear.....the front 15x4 cragars have 5.60-15 tires. Based on the look, I ordered the same size in a ProTrac. The 25.5” OD is a measurement from my ProTrac 5.60-15 tire

I don't think I have any use for skinnies that tall and it's too late to return them, so I'm sure we can work something out. I have a friend downriver I might visit around Christmas time, so we might could arrange things so we can skip the shipping costs.

Did you sell the car?
