Ford Galaxie tire size

Original tire sizes for the Ford Galaxie, model years 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963 and 1964. Trim levels and wheel packages change the size within the same year, so confirm on the door-jamb sticker before ordering.

Wheel sizes 14" Every fitment we list uses this diameter.
Tire sizes listed 1 One size per model year across the years we cover.

Check before you order. The surest answer is the tires on the car right now: the size is molded into the sidewall. The placard inside the driver's door tells you what the factory fitted. Our guide on reading a tire size shows exactly where to look.

Which brand should you pick?

Ford does not stamp its own approval code on tires the way Porsche or BMW do. Any tire in the right size that meets or exceeds the load index and speed rating on your door placard is a legitimate replacement, so pick on wet braking, tread life and price. Our picks for each size are on the size pages below.

The drawing carries the sizes we list for this car, so you know what you are looking for. The placard on the car is still the final word, and it is the only place that gives the cold pressures: the number molded into the sidewall is the maximum the tire can hold, not what your car wants.

Ford Galaxie tires: common questions

What size tires does a Ford Galaxie take?

The most common original size is 205/75R14. Other model years and trims use different sizes, so check the list on this page and confirm against the sticker inside your driver's door.

Can I fit a different size on my Ford Galaxie?

You can, within limits: the overall diameter should stay within about 3 percent of the original, and the load index and speed rating must meet or exceed the door placard. Anything further changes your speedometer reading and can rub at full lock.
