Power King Super Traction II 7.00 -15 8PR

Hopefully I can swing ordering these while they're available, shipping will be about $100 for four. They look to be the same as what was on my '65 FJ45 when I bought it (premium traction grip). I also inquired about the 16-inch version, NONE available at this time.

Bias ply....will wear fast

You need to think hobby vehicle not daily driver. Have never had a issue with tires wearing out on anything other than our DDs. I replace them for dry rot cracks first. My FJ62 is going to get new shoes just for this reason and it was used for many for miles than any 25/40 and the tread still look great except for the chucks of tread that are starting for fall off.

There is a silver lining thought. When the tires went on it was DD mainly around Phoenix with 235X75X15R A/Ts. Now I can put something larger in a offroad tire.

 

[JohnnyC]

LOL thats true...my hobby involves driving it daily

I've gone thru a few sets of tires...bias and radial...bias usually run 15,000+- and radial range around 27-30,000...too low a tread will take you into a guard rail around here during the winter

I did some research for my 1964 corrugated hard top and this is what I decided on.

Tires on a 1964 should be Dunlop RK3 7.60x15 (even though the literature shows 7.50) but.... they are not available in a 15" rim anymore. Because of that, I am going with the Firestone NDT bias ply 7.00x15s. I put a tape on a NOS Dunlop RK3 and was surprised they measure 29" x 6.25"

After thorough internet research....
Firestone NDT

Here is the difference between the Goodyear and Firestone

Dunlop RK3

Rear sill hopefully available from awlteq on mud. Reproduction Toyota sticker ordered from MetricTLC. Shane is out of the hospital and I have been talking to him.

Form over function? I just wanted something retro on the '64. The tire shop has the tubes and rim strips on order. I think they get them from Carlisle. The CO-OP Grip Spurs on the 25 are a fun tire

i heard those were going to be back, but the price at 5 scares me. i liked the coop ones since they were less than half that a few years ago when someone posted on colo4x

 

[Splangy]

I have to say that the y742s is much better looking in person than I expected for a good retro 15" tire

 

[notaclue]

I'm leaning in the Y742s direction. I just got a quote of $1002 incl shipping for 5. Any better prices out there?

 

[My wife said no FJ!]

I'm probably going to go with the NDTs also. Love the Y742's...and was very happy to see others fall in love with them also (truth be told, I was worried that's they'd be less than happy after I mentioned them to others) problem is that they are not cheap, and I have a '56 Chevy to work on also, so those NDT's will fit the bill just fine.

BTW, I really looked hard, and found those RK3s still in production in Indonesia a couple years back...but could NOT find any way to import them...we even tried sending them to Australia first, and no go. I wouldn't drive them daily, but still wanted a new set on rims.

 

[hdjtachtig]

Malaysia it is. I also tried that route. I know someone who has contacts in malaysia. They visited the local tyre shop. They came up with a lot of 7.00x15 tyres but they couldnt get the rk3.
BTW the tyre sizing figures changed somewhere in the 60's IIRC. 7.60 is now 7.00.

 

[treerootCO]

The wide angle lens on the phone distorts the tape measure. The Firestone NDTs measure 30"x5"x15"
