Working on a 1964 Fireball Roberts Galaxie. Question about tires. A couple of web sites give the tire size for this car as 8.00/8.20x15. Would the Goodyear L60x15 tires that come with a few kits work for this car? The L60x15 seems close to that size. The PPP 60 to 64 nascar tires seem a lot wider. I wanted to get more info before buying the PPPs. Thanks for the help.

Per the "Tire Evolution" sticky post quoting Dr. Craft's post from the old board the tires through most of the '60s were all marked 8.00/8.20x15 but they obviously varied a lot as to size and height.

As for the PPP tires, they were measured from actual 1964 vintage Speedway tires made and installed early in the '64 season. Not saying that tires for different tracks wouldn't have been smaller but they're accurate for '64 Daytona 500 tires for sure.
