    Does anybody know the standard tire size for a 71 Grabber. I bought mine about 4 months ago for a project car previous owner had two large tires in the back and two smaller ones in the front, plus a Firestone spare w/ no rim. About the only thing I do know is it takes 14' rims. The sticker on the passenger door is chipped away so I can't tell the tire size needed, gonna get new tires soon.

    my 72 has had 195 70 14's for as long as I can remember. Unless you are going to restore your car stock, I would suggest ditching the stock tire size and stuffing a wider/lower tire under there. You will definetly notice the improvement in the handling/tire slipping department.
