1968 Chevelle Factory Tire: F70x14
According to Coker Tire website , the F70-14 is 26.2″ tall

E70-14 >> 215-70R14
F70-14 >> 225-70R14
F60-15 >> 235-60R15
Notes: On the BFG site, the radial T/A 225/70-14 is 26.5″, a good sub for the F70, the 215/70-14 is 25.9″, a good sub for the E70. Other manufacturer’s sizes will vary slightly. Read More >>
