1968 Dodge Phoenix Covertible

Hi all,


Can anyone tell my the size of tyres on the 1968 Dodge Phonix. Even
better if you could tell me where I could find them in Australia.

The Dodge Phoenix seems to be what they called the Plymouth Fury in
Australia.

Suggest you contact the Chrysler Owners Club of Queensland:

They have a member's web page listing their cars. Several list the
Phoenix.

The 1968 Plymouth Fury / Dodge Phoenix probably came with 14" wheels
and a 78 series tire. The original tire was probably specified as
X78-14, where X is a letter from A to J and indicates the over-all
diameter of the tire mounted to the wheel. Since the Fury wasn't a
small car, the letter size was probably E, F or G. The modern radial
equivalent would be 205/75-14 or 225/75-14.

Any good tyre store. Assuming you have 14" wheels, the original size was
G78-14, which convertes to P215/75R14 in today's tyre sizing system.
