I will be getting tires for the front of my car in a couple weeks . 62 Plymouth Savoy , 440/727 with manual steering !!! 7" rims, I was planning on getting 235/60/15" tires . Do you think those tires will be a Bear for Steering or should I drop down to a 215/60/15"  Weekend Car |

they will be fine if you have a big 16 inch steering wheel, but a 12.5 wheel might require some extra effort

I have a 15" steering wheel . I was wondering if a fast ratio pitman arm would make any difference

You can help decrease steering effort by decreasing positive caster. Also use wheels that have same offset as factory.

The wheels that I have on order have 0 degrees offset . Is that Right about the Fast Ratio Pitman making it More Difficult Steering I thought it would give you More Leverage |

I have 225/70-15's on the front of my 63 with manual steering and it steers easy. It actually steers easier then I thought it would. Ron

Hey Jack- He's right. Fast ratio means fewer turns of steering wheel lock to lock, but at the price of increased steering effort. -Jay |
