What size tire fits 14" x 6.5" wheels - '64 Savoy Max Wedge

[HK45P9s]

I understand that the original '64 max wedge rear wheel is a 14 x 6 1/2 (option), which I have original to the car. But I do not have tires. I'm running keystone classics on the car right now but would like to put it back to original, or close as possible. What do you guys feel is the modern equivalent to 9.00 x 14 black wall tire that will have the right look?

My stock rims on my 64 have E 78 14's ... here is a website to convert to current tires ...

It's going to be difficult finding a modern 14" tire that big. That would be equivalent to a 235/75R14 and I don't know anyone who makes anything that big. You may get lucky and find some 225/75R14's, but will most likely have to settle for a 215/75R14 or a 225/70R14.

edit: Upon researching, it appears the Cooper Trendsetter IS currently available in the P225/75R14 size. That's actually a decent tire.

Good luck!
