Title: April Build 69 Boss Space Saver Tire
Post by: Aussie_Boss302 on June 27, 2022, 03:37:08 PM: Is the 7.35-14 space saver tire correct for the April build Boss?

Post by: J_Speegle on June 29, 2022, 01:24:38 AM: That is the correct size for a 69 Boss 302 but not for a Boss 429

Size is only one detail to check for since the assemblies were made for other car makes and models

The most obvious IMO is the incorrect double valve stem used on latter year cars space savers.

Post by: Aussie_Boss302 on July 06, 2022, 01:04:37 PM: What I'm seeing with the 7.35-14 tires is a single letter stamp... such as "C" or "E". Would "C" be correct for my build?
