    White lettering looks tough? There was a time flared Jeans did too. And mesh singlets.

    Thats what I have heard, but if I can get a decent tyre with white lettering I will be happy..

    ive flipped mine now but they do have raised white writing if you prefer
    Thanks mate, what Maxxis is the tyre??? The parents have Maxxis on the 4wd and we are very impressed with them... How much were they per tyre if you don't mind me asking?? and they have white lettering which is a plus...

    raised white letter writing is more AGRO's style, and i dunno if it would suit, maybe if you paint rims red and go for rat rod look, it may be acceptable... lolol
    Yeah, the tyres that were on the ute when I got it were 215/65/14 and it looked pretty good... So I will try and get a set of those.. Again, raised white lettering is f^#king awsome.. I'll find a way to make it look awsome... If not, I'll just get the tyres rotated so the white lettering is on the inside...

    Iam thinking of a set of bf goodrich radial ta 235 60 14 otherwise brigstone eagers i dont think they make the yokos 352 s anymore tried to get a set for a mates torana and australia wide all they had was 265 in stock.
    I had bridgestone eagers on a hz wagon 245s but they used to scrub the inner guards on big bumps.

    they're Maxxis Bravo HT760, size 235/60/14
    they're not the control tyres im told now - changed again
    it was Kumho and is now Kenda so there's other options as well


    cant really tell the price, mate owns a Tyrepower ;)

    You can not beat BF's i drive on mine daily and this chap is a pleasure to deal with, cheaper then rest and on door almost next day has a great range

    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/BFGoodric...item2317d8d16c

    John Cain is a waste of space and time I tried using him cause he is local, every time a i call on next shipment due in on Thursday, seems there always on next shipment, Matty has them cheaper even posted to me

    John is a great bloke I am sure but forget about it, Agro's Master Crafts are also another option

    And Yes you cant beat White writing, so many folk coment on them, wow how cool are the rims and tyres, very period, and suit ours cars perfect

    235 will be too wide for the standard rims I would think. I run 235 on 7" front and 8" rear wheels.
    I think standard they had 195 but 225 would probably be as wide as I would go on a 6" rim.

    Rightio, thanks for the help... Looks like I am after a set of 225/65/R14 for the rear and a set of 215/65/R14 on the front..
