Wheels can make or break any build. Wheels, tires, and stance are three important components when you're building traditional hot rods and customs. Wheels and tires define the era and style you're going for, so they need to be handled with care. Bias-ply tires are a must if you want to build a period-correct traditional 1940s or 1950s styled hot rod or custom, and the Firestone 6.70-15 tire is a popular choice amongst traditionalists. Produced by Coker Tire, the Firestone 6.70-15 tire comes in many models and variations, ranging from a plain Blackwall tire to a crowd-pleasing tire with a wide 3 1/4 Inch Whitewall. Choosing which one will look good on your car is always tricky, so on this page, we have listed the various models along with some cars that are dressed up with these.
