New tires for the '69

[Mytur Binsdirti]

The ancient Goodyear Wingfoot white letter tires are ou & grandpa white lines are now on. If the car wasn't a survivor, I would have gotten redline insteads, but the car came with whites, and I do like the look of them on this car.

[Stevearino]

Gotta say it really makes this car look very crisp.

[Ghoste]

Actually with that colour combo I think the whiteline tires are more appropriate anyway. Looks good.

[TUFCAT]

It looks perfect. Some cars are better suited for white -stripe tires....case in point that's why I have white-stripe tires on my Coronet.

I tried relines first, but it looked like a clown car from Barnum and Bailey's  

[Charger-Bodie]

Looks awesome. It looks better with the white walls than letters.

[Ghoste]

The car at the top and Tufcats both show that certain color combos have that understated elegance that merely slapping a high price and a Cadillac badge can't necessarily attain.

The narrow whitewalls look "right" on that color combination of Charger. Are they bias-ply or radials? Just wondering.

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Amazing how a small change can make a dramatic effect.  Looks great

[Dino]

Perfect!

The look great! Really compliments the color combo well.

They are BF Goodrich radial TA's  & I got them from Diamondback tires. Not cheap though. 

[charge69]

Although I am sure the radial T/A's are great, I might have been tempted to put bias-ply tires on it as it came from the factory!  That said, it was probably just a few pennies more to go with radial tires as opposed to bias-ply.  Both with narrow whitewalls are doggone expensive!

Just a side-note, I am an old fart but the bias-ply tires are pretty easy to drive on for me. However, with the "day-two" look on my Charger and blackwall tires also, I went with radial tires and am very happy!  Got to say, the original F70-15 Wide Oval Redline tires look mighty skinny on it! They do drive very well, though!

3 things wrong with this car it has a split in the grill long tail lights and it does not have round lights on the side.

[TPR]

I'm a fan of that combo.

good choice !! given what the car is !!  awesome stuff 

[Dreamcar]

perfect choice for a survivor. 

[Charger-Bodie]

I probably would have put on bias repops myself. As original as that one is. The car does look great though.

Personally I wouldn't change a thing.  I don't think you could make that car any sexier than it is.  It is definitely one of favorites here.

Nice look Turbin.  So do you have 3 rigs' now?
I had a '72 Charger bought from the original owner's daughter & I put the white walls on.  If it wasn't a grandpa looking car before, it was then.

As we all know, Chargers need wide tires to fill out the wheelwells and I just couldn't bring myself to put those skinny 7.75 motorcycle tires on it.

[charge69]

I've seen a lot of motorcycles with wider back tires installed than the original-size tires on our Chargers!

[Mytur Binsdirti]

True.

[timmycharger]

  Looks great!

RE: starting a new thread with your title!  I, actually thought I was writing in Your thread but ......... My computer said my answer took too long and timed out and to enter a new one, so I did!  I was surprised to see it started as a new thread!  Oh well, I never said I knew my way around a computer! Too old for that and things are hard enough out there to stay up with current trends for my old azz!
