Original Coupe tire size
Hi Everybody, looking for a little information on tire size that they used on the original coupes and FIA cars. I have searched and have not found anything concrete on what size the tires were. I need the old time tire sizes, not the new way of marking tire sizes. I found a picture of 2287 and I can see one of the rear tires was marked 7.00/12.80-15. What size tires would these cars orginally have for the front and rear? I am going to buy a used set of Goodyear Bluestreaks for mock up purposes. I would like to be armed with a little bit of information before I go. The guy I am getting them from has 8.00/15, 7.00/15 another one is 6.00/15 or a 5.50/15. What sizes do I need? Thanks Mark
PS: I need them to mock up a Daytona Coupe using Chucks plans.
