1962 Thunderbird tires

[57jake]

I need to buy tires for my '62 T-bird. How wide should the white walls be for that year. I've been told '62 was the last year wide white walls were used. I've looked at 2 1/2" wide 215/75/R14 Cokers. What would look best for that year? I've heard good and bad reports about Cokers. What is the best brand? Thanks for any help.

62 was the first year for the narrow band whitewall(black stripe around the rim) wide whites were not used after 1961.

Thanks for the help Jim. I'm undecided on to go for the 1" wide whites, or the 2 1/2". There's not much difference between the '61 to 63. I guess if a person really wanted 2 1/2" whites they would be OK on a '62 or'63.

I decided to go for the 1" whitewall from American Classic.
