About the 215/70R14 size
The single most important classic size in the US: the factory tire on nearly every 1966-1974 intermediate muscle car was F70-14, and 215/70R14 is the accepted radial equivalent (26.0 in tall versus 26.2 in, section width 8.5 in versus roughly 8.6 in). G70-14 cars can use it too, though 225/70R14 is closer if you can find one. Three families of tire exist: raised-white-letter radials (Milestar Streetsteel, Cooper Cobra Radial G/T, BFGoodrich Radial T/A) which is what most owners fit, redline and whitewall reproductions from Coker and Diamond Back for judged cars, and genuine bias-ply F70-14 Firestone Wide Oval and Goodyear Polyglas repros. Speed ratings are S or T; the original bias tires were rated far lower, so nothing is lost. Watch the load index (about 96, 1565 lb) on a big-block car with a full tank. Note on price: the tires listed here are the period-correct ones, with raised white letters or a classic tread, and they are priced accordingly. A plain modern radial in the same size, where one is still made, is usually cheaper and fits the car just as well. Check both before you decide; the look is what you are paying the difference for.
The numbers mean: 215 mm section width, sidewall height 70 % of that width, and a 14-inch rim. Overall diameter works out to about 25.9 inches. Any replacement has to match all three, and the load index and speed rating on your door sticker must be met or exceeded. Our guide on reading a tire size walks through it.

What vehicles use 215/70R14 tires?

What is the best 215/70R14 tire?
For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Cooper Cobra Radial G/T, is the sweet spot of price and tread life. If you keep the vehicle a long time or drive in heavy rain and snow, the BFGoodrich Radial T/A is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Milestar Streetsteel is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 215/70R14 tires?
On a front- or rear-wheel-drive car, yes: replace in pairs on the same axle and put the newer pair on the rear. On all-wheel-drive vehicles most makers want all four replaced together, or a new tire shaved to match, because a difference in circumference strains the drivetrain.
