I just picked up an 81 Charger 2.2 and it is going to need new tires soon. I am planning on putting some BFG Radial T/A's. What size should I run? And what was the stock size?
Thanks in Advance - Jon

Why radial T/As?

I want something with raised white letters, because it has some on there now and it looks good.

Cooper Tires makes a white letter tire. I think they are called Cobra GT's. T

How about a set of Kelly "Charger" tires. You can get them in a 195/60/14 that should probably fit nicely on that car, and they have raised white letters that say "Charger" on them, which since it's the name of the car is extra cool...

Edit: just noticed that the 195/60/14's have black letters. You can get the white letters on a 70 series 14" however.

You could probably get away with the 205/60r14s on there if you wanted to. What width are those wheels?

The car has 185/70/14's on it now. But in the door jam it says min tire size is 175/75/13's, so that is not even close because it is the wrong size rim. What was stock size for a 2.2?
