About the 215/70R14 size
The single most important classic size in the US: the factory tire on nearly every 1966-1974 intermediate muscle car was F70-14, and 215/70R14 is the accepted radial equivalent (26.0 in tall versus 26.2 in, section width 8.5 in versus roughly 8.6 in). G70-14 cars can use it too, though 225/70R14 is closer if you can find one. Three families of tire exist: raised-white-letter radials (Milestar Streetsteel, Cooper Cobra Radial G/T, BFGoodrich Radial T/A) which is what most owners fit, redline and whitewall reproductions from Coker and Diamond Back for judged cars, and genuine bias-ply F70-14 Firestone Wide Oval and Goodyear Polyglas repros. Speed ratings are S or T; the original bias tires were rated far lower, so nothing is lost. Watch the load index (about 96, 1565 lb) on a big-block car with a full tank. Note on price: the tires listed here are the period-correct ones, with raised white letters or a classic tread, and they are priced accordingly. A plain modern radial in the same size, where one is still made, is usually cheaper and fits the car just as well. Check both before you decide; the look is what you are paying the difference for.
What the numbers on the sidewall mean
A 215/70R14 tire is 215 millimeters wide, its sidewall is 70 percent of that (about 5.9 inches tall), and it mounts on a 14-inch wheel. That works out to an overall diameter of roughly 25.9 inches. Every replacement has to match all three numbers, and the load index and speed rating on the placard inside the driver's door have to be met or exceeded.
In this size our picks are marked 96S on the Milestar MS775 and BFGoodrich Radial T/A (1,565 lb per tire, rated to 112 mph). The first number is the load index, the letter the speed rating; a tire with equal or higher values than your placard is fine, a lower one is not.
Our guide on reading a tire size walks through the markings, and this one lists every load index and speed code.
Our three picks, side by side
One tire at each price level from what the retailer stocks in this size, with the mileage warranty and UTQG grades as published by the manufacturers and their retailers. Treadwear is the number to compare: it is a relative wear rate, so 700 should last roughly twice as long as 350 on the same car.

What vehicles use 215/70R14 tires?
215/70R14 is original equipment on Pontiac GTO (1966-1972, F70-14 equivalent), Pontiac Firebird Formula (1970-1974), Chevrolet Camaro SS (1967-1969), Chevrolet Camaro Z28 (1970-1974), Chevrolet Chevelle SS (1968-1972), Chevrolet El Camino (1968-1972), Chevrolet Nova SS (1968-1972), Ford Mustang Mach 1 (1969-1973), Ford Torino GT (1968-1971), Dodge Charger R/T (1968-1970), Dodge Challenger R/T (1970-1974), Plymouth Road Runner (1968-1974), Plymouth GTX (1967-1971), Plymouth Barracuda (1970-1974, 340/383), Oldsmobile 442 (1966-1972), Buick GS 455 (1970-1972), AMC Javelin (1968-1974) and AMC AMX (1968-1970), among others.

What is the best 215/70R14 tire?
For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Nexen N'Priz AH5, is the sweet spot of price and tread life. If you keep the vehicle a long time or drive in heavy rain and snow, the BFGoodrich Radial T/A is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Milestar MS775 is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 215/70R14 tires?
On a front- or rear-wheel-drive car, yes: replace in pairs on the same axle and put the newer pair on the rear. On all-wheel-drive vehicles most makers want all four replaced together, or a new tire shaved to match, because a difference in circumference strains the drivetrain.
