    Mmmh, ok i see, i tought this wasnt another radial vs bias ply thread, thats why i posted here.
    Im sory to post this O/T pics, but i need a reply and i didnt have any 49/52 other than the orange bel air w/ this kind of tyre.

    Questions are:
    On these pics are tyres stretched or is this very kind of tyre that fits
    this way? I'd like to know cause i like the look and find it perfect for
    my application right now.
    And:
    Do this kind of pinner white radial sell in 165/60 or 65/14 or 175/60 or 65/14
    I already know from previous post that there is a 185/70/14 but the car in which
    i wanna use'em doest allow for a too big shoulder or too large a wheel
    otherwise it would look just goofy.
    All help will be greatly appreciated,Thanx to all in advance !

    Defiantly can't match the look of a bias ply. I would love to have bias plys ...
    if I wasn't poor. Lol
    Mine are 205/70 15. Were about $60 each.
    I would have preferred a 195/75 but they were not available in whitewall.

    Mine is 205/75 15 currently. They are plenty big on a static dropped car.
