Stock tire size on a sport coupe? January 15, 2006, 07:54:42 PM I looked on the car and in the owners manual but i couldnt find it anywhere so i was wondering what the stock tire size was on the sport coupes? When i got it it had 235/60/14 in the rear and 225/60/14 up front. I am going to step up to 15" rims and want to make sure the tires are close to stock height. Thanks Quote Selected

That was never a factory option IIRC. The Sports came with the 215/70/14s with the "*" at the end of that sticker, same size as base Tbirds but with a speed rating and no whitewall. Quote Selected

Reply #7 – January 16, 2006, 04:42:09 PM The dealer brochure I have for the 88 Thunderbird says the Sports come with "performance black wall P215/70/HR14 tires on styled steal wheels or optional aluminium wheels". So tire size is the same as non Turbo Birds except they were H speed rated. Quote Selected
