    Does anyone know how tall the Goodyear Blue Dot tire was? I think the original size was 7.75 X 15.
    Thanks

    And NARROW too! A good size to consider if you are running the stock
    steel 15 X 6 wheels or the 15 x 6 Shelby/Crager mags is a
    215 x 65 R 15. They are 26.1 inches tall. A bit shorter, but quite a lot wider.

    Unmounted the Blue Dot tires are 26.25" tall. I have a set of (5) for sale that I will be listing in the classified section. These tires were mounted on a set of Cragers and then removed because we went with some better performance tires. These tires have less than 2 miles on them. Check them out, there nice!:cigar:
