Kelsey is also the manufacture... :2thumbs: When you call them, ask if they have a distributor in your area that can give you a better price...John will most likely just give you a better price himself. :drunk:

Non-Hemi E Bodies never came with F60's  :2cents:

Goodyear Polyglas tires road like crap, cornered like crap, but was and still is the only tire that looks right on an E body.   :2cents:

Thanks Alan,

I did find last night where the E60 would be the correct tire.   I'll call Kelsey on Monday.

You might as well run the F 60. 73's didn't come with 15's or 60's series tires.  An F 70X14 would be correct for your car.

Make sure they are not to old. Kelsey sold me 5, 12 year old tires. 4 of them came apart. They replaced them with 12 year old tires that came apart again. Then they wouldn't stand behind the warranty.

How the heck did they have 12 year old tires ? Most times I call, they're out of stock waiting to make a new batch :dunno:

Agreed, largest tire from the factory on a 73 was the F70X14......but I think if you add 15's, you should at least add the correct size :2thumbs:

The car has this Magnum 500 wheel (15 x 7) on it now with BFG radials.  They have very bad flat spots from sitting for years.  The date on the inside of the wheel is 7 22 2011.   Since I have to get new tires, I want to get as close to OE as possible.
