About the 205/70R14 size
The general-purpose replacement for E70-14 and 6.95-14 bias-ply, and the accepted radial for cars whose tag says 195/75R14: 205/70R14 is 25.3 in tall against 25.5 in for an E70-14, so the speedometer stays honest. This is the base-model muscle car and 1970s personal-luxury size, where 215/70R14 is the SS/Mach 1 step up. You can buy it three ways: a modern blackwall all-season (cheapest, T-rated), the Cooper Cobra or BFG Radial T/A with raised white letters, or a narrow whitewall from Coker's American Classic line. True bias-ply E70-14 reproductions are available from Coker and Firestone if the car is judged, but they tramline and wander.
The numbers mean: 205 mm section width, sidewall height 70 % of that width, and a 14-inch rim. Overall diameter works out to about 25.3 inches. Any replacement has to match all three, and the load index and speed rating on your door sticker must be met or exceeded. Our guide on reading a tire size walks through it.

Frequently asked questions
How much do 205/70R14 tires cost?
Expect $70–$75 per tire for a budget brand, $75–$86 for a mid-range tire like the Cooper Cobra Radial G/T, and $86–$115 for a premium tire like the BFGoodrich Radial T/A. A set of four therefore starts at about $280. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.
What vehicles use 205/70R14 tires?
205/70R14 is original equipment on Ford Mustang (1965-1970, base/6-cylinder), Ford Mustang GT (1982-1984, 14 in), Chevrolet Nova (1968-1979), Dodge Dart (1967-1976), Plymouth Duster (1970-1976), Pontiac Firebird (1970-1976, base), Chevrolet Camaro (1970-1977, base), Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme (1978-1987, G-body), Mercedes-Benz 450SL (1972-1980, R107) and Mercedes-Benz 380SL (1981-1985, R107), among others. Always confirm with the sticker inside your driver's door, because trim levels and wheel packages can change the size.
What is the best 205/70R14 tire?
For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Cooper Cobra Radial G/T, 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 Hankook Kinergy ST is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 205/70R14 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.
