    Hey guys
    Looking for your opinions on the best tyre size for a set of 7 x 14 Turbine rims I will be putting on my Maverick. Looking for a happy medium between looks, price and front turning ability. I have power steer, just not all that strong. I would like to think they won't look too skinny either!
    Cheers
    Scott.

    The 14 x 7's that were on the '71 Comet GT when my uncle bought it had 215/70/14 on the front and 235/60/14 on the rear. He went to a set of 15 x 7's with 235/60/15's all the way around. No fitment issues with either set of tires.
