That's one fine looking Supreme. Tires look very well balanced in there. I'm debating on new tires myself between 14's and 15's.

Here are a few of mine in the wheel/tire rotation on my cars. All are 225/70/14s unless noted otherwise.

I like the 15 inchers. I feel they fill out the wheel they fill out the wheelwell better than the 14s. Just my 2 cents.

Here's mine with 245-60-14s all around. I am currently prepping a set of 15" SSIII wheels to get away from the 14" wheels. Debating going with 245-60-15s all around or 245-60-15s up front and 275-60-15s in back.

I am selling the Goodyear bias plys from my grey 67, mounted with poverty caps if you are interested. The caps are for 67/68's.

Thanks! I actually have a nice set of 15's ready to go and will eventually put them on once the 14" tires get old. I agree with z11375ss, I think they fill the fender wells a little better.
