Ford Mustang Tires
Ford Mustang spans one of the broadest and most recognizable performance-car histories in the American market, running here from 1965 through 2026 and covering everything from early pony cars to later high-performance modern variants. That long production run matters because tire selection for Ford Mustang is not a one-era exercise; the size, construction style, and wheel diameter change repeatedly as the car evolves from bias-ply 13- and 14-inch fitments into radial 15-, 16-, 17-, 18-, 19-, 20-inch, and even metric 390mm applications. The first thing to verify on any Ford Mustang is wheel diameter, because production moves across several rim diameters and some years list multiple choices within the same model year.
Ford Mustang Tire Size Guide
Ford Mustang uses 54 distinct tire sizes across 1965 to 2026, and the wheel diameter changes repeatedly during production from 13- and 14-inch fitments into 15-, 16-, 17-, 18-, 19-, 20-inch, and one 390mm application. Early Ford Mustang sizes include numeric and alphanumeric bias-ply codes, while later cars move into radial alphanumeric and metric sizing. Because several model years carry more than two listed sizes, wheel diameter and specific configuration matter just as much as the year itself.
650-13 is an early Ford Mustang size used in 1965 on cars equipped with 13-inch wheels. In this numeric bias-ply format, 650 indicates a nominal 6.50-inch section width and the tire fits a 13-inch rim. Choose 650-13 when the car still carries the smaller 13-inch wheel setup used that year, and a tube is required.
695-14 appears on Ford Mustang applications from 1965 through 1969 and covers an important early 14-inch fitment. In this numeric bias-ply format, 695 indicates a nominal 6.95-inch section width and the tire fits a 14-inch rim. Choose 695-14 for period-correct early Mustang bias-ply fitment on 14-inch wheels, and a tube is required.
735-14 is used on Ford Mustang from 1967 through 1969 for a larger 14-inch bias-ply application. In this numeric bias-ply format, 735 indicates a nominal 7.35-inch section width and the tire fits a 14-inch rim. Choose 735-14 when the car calls for the wider early bias-ply setup rather than the smaller 695-14 size, and a tube is required.
E70-14 fits Ford Mustang applications from 1967 through 1973 and represents one of the period muscle-era alphanumeric sizes on 14-inch wheels. In this alphanumeric bias-ply format, E identifies the width and load class, 70 is the series designation, and the tire fits a 14-inch rim with no R in the code because it is bias-ply. Choose E70-14 for a period muscle-car presentation in the narrower of the two common E/F-series 14-inch choices, and a tube is required.
F70-14 fits Ford Mustang from 1967 through 1973 and is another core late-1960s to early-1970s 14-inch size. In this alphanumeric bias-ply format, F identifies the width and load class, 70 is the series designation, and the tire fits a 14-inch rim with no R in the code because it is bias-ply. Choose F70-14 when the car uses the broader F-series 14-inch setup seen on many performance-oriented Mustang applications of the period, and a tube is required.
FR70-14 appears on Ford Mustang in 1968 and 1969 as a 14-inch radial-era alternative within the late first-generation range. In this alphanumeric radial format, F identifies the width and load class, R marks radial construction, 70 is the series designation, and the tire fits a 14-inch rim. Choose FR70-14 when the car is being fitted with a radial-style period look rather than a conventional bias-ply tire.
E78-14 is listed for Ford Mustang from 1969 through 1973 on 14-inch wheels. In this alphanumeric bias-ply format, E identifies the width and load class, 78 is the series designation, and the tire fits a 14-inch rim with no R in the code because it is bias-ply. Choose E78-14 only after confirming the car is one of the Mustang applications calling for that later 14-inch bias-ply size, and a tube is required.
C78-14 is a one-year Ford Mustang fitment listed for 1969 on 14-inch wheels. In this alphanumeric bias-ply format, C identifies the width and load class, 78 is the series designation, and the tire fits a 14-inch rim with no R in the code because it is bias-ply. Choose C78-14 only after confirming a 1969 Mustang carries this specific narrower 14-inch application, and a tube is required.
F60-15 fits Ford Mustang from 1970 through 1972 and marks the move to a 15-inch muscle-era performance fitment. In this alphanumeric bias-ply format, F identifies the width and load class, 60 is the series designation, and the tire fits a 15-inch rim with no R in the code because it is bias-ply. Choose F60-15 when the car has the 15-inch performance wheel setup rather than one of the 14-inch alternatives from the same years, and a tube is required.
F78-14 is listed for Ford Mustang in 1973 as a 14-inch bias-ply application. In this alphanumeric bias-ply format, F identifies the width and load class, 78 is the series designation, and the tire fits a 14-inch rim with no R in the code because it is bias-ply. Choose F78-14 only after confirming a 1973 Mustang uses this specific 14-inch setup rather than E78-14, E70-14, or F70-14, and a tube is required.
B78-13 appears on Ford Mustang II-era applications in 1974 and again from 1976 through 1978 on 13-inch wheels. In this alphanumeric bias-ply format, B identifies the width and load class, 78 is the series designation, and the tire fits a 13-inch rim with no R in the code because it is bias-ply. Choose B78-13 for a period-correct Mustang II bias-ply presentation on 13-inch wheels, and a tube is required.
BR78-13 fits Ford Mustang from 1974 through 1978 and represents a 13-inch radial-era size during the Mustang II period. In this alphanumeric radial format, B identifies the width and load class, R marks radial construction, 78 is the series designation, and the tire fits a 13-inch rim. Choose BR78-13 when the car uses the earlier alphanumeric radial specification instead of the metric 195/70R13 alternative.
CR70-13 is used on Ford Mustang from 1974 through 1976 as another 13-inch radial-era size. In this alphanumeric radial format, C identifies the width and load class, R marks radial construction, 70 is the series designation, and the tire fits a 13-inch rim. Choose CR70-13 only after confirming the car is one of the Mustang II applications that uses this specific 70-series radial size rather than BR78-13 or B78-13.
195/70R13 fits Ford Mustang from 1975 through 1978 and reflects the transition into modern metric radial sizing on 13-inch wheels. In this metric radial format, 195 is the section width in millimeters, 70 is the aspect ratio, R indicates radial construction, and 13 is the rim diameter in inches. Choose 195/70R13 when the car uses the later metric radial specification instead of the older alphanumeric B78-13, BR78-13, or CR70-13 codes.
BR70-13 appears on Ford Mustang in 1977 and 1978 as a 13-inch radial fitment. In this alphanumeric radial format, B identifies the width and load class, R marks radial construction, 70 is the series designation, and the tire fits a 13-inch rim. Choose BR70-13 only after confirming the specific 1977 or 1978 Mustang configuration, since those years also list other 13-inch radial and bias-ply sizes.
185/80R13 is listed for Ford Mustang in 1980 and 1981 on 13-inch wheels. In this metric radial format, 185 is the section width in millimeters, 80 is the aspect ratio, R indicates radial construction, and 13 is the rim diameter in inches. Choose 185/80R13 when the car retains the smaller 13-inch wheel fitment rather than one of the 14-inch or 390mm alternatives offered around the same time.
175/75R14 fits Ford Mustang from 1980 through 1982 on 14-inch wheels. In this metric radial format, 175 is the section width in millimeters, 75 is the aspect ratio, R indicates radial construction, and 14 is the rim diameter in inches.

Years such as 1969, 1981, 1984, 2010, 2011, 2016, and 2020 list three or more sizes, so identify the exact Ford Mustang configuration before choosing a tire; some of those splits span different rim diameters including 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 390mm applications.
Ford Mustang Tires by Year
Ford Mustang production moves through several wheel diameters, from 13- and 14-inch fitments in the early years to later 15-, 16-, 17-, 18-, 19-, 20-inch, and 390mm applications, so confirm the wheel diameter on the car before narrowing the choice by year. In years such as 1969, 1981, 1984, 2010, 2011, 2016, and 2020, more than two sizes are listed, usually because different wheel diameters and performance configurations were offered within the same model year. These year-by-year listings are the starting point, but short transitional stretches and special wheel packages are best verified against original vehicle paperwork or a knowledgeable Mustang specialist.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Ford Mustang FAQ below focuses on the issues that matter most on this fitment spread: overlapping sizes in the same year, early bias-ply versus later radial choices, unusual 390mm TRX applications, and how to sort sidewall and performance options by era.
Size Basics & Fitment
Ford Mustang uses a very broad range of sizes from 1965 through 2026. Early cars use 650-13 on 13-inch wheels, then 695-14, 735-14, E70-14, F70-14, FR70-14, E78-14, C78-14, F60-15, and F78-14 on 14- and 15-inch wheels. Mid-period cars move into B78-13, BR78-13, CR70-13, 195/70R13, 185/80R13, 175/75R14, 185/75R14, 190/65R390, 195/75R14, 205/70R14, 220/55R390, 225/50R16, and 225/60R15. Later cars expand into 15-, 16-, 17-, 18-, 19-, and 20-inch metric radials including 205/65R15 through 345/30R20.
The practical way to narrow that list is by year first, then by wheel diameter, then by the exact configuration of the car. A 1969 Ford Mustang, a 1981 Ford Mustang with metric TRX wheels, and a 2025 Ford Mustang can all have multiple listed sizes, but they are not interchangeable simply because they share the same model name. Start by reading the sidewall of the tire already on the car and measuring or confirming the wheel diameter, then compare that with the year listing before choosing a replacement.
On a Ford Mustang, 695-14 is an older numeric bias-ply size used from 1965 through 1969 on 14-inch wheels. The 695 portion represents a nominal 6.95-inch section width, while 14 is the rim diameter in inches. That is a period size format from the early Mustang era, and it is different from later alphanumeric and metric radial sizing systems that appear on newer Mustangs.
That difference matters because a 695-14 should be treated as an early-style bias-ply fitment, not as a modern metric equivalent picked by guesswork. If your Ford Mustang still carries its early wheel setup and you want the original driving character and appearance, this size remains one of the key period-correct choices. It is also important to remember that the available 695-14 products are bias-ply constructions, so the supporting wheel, tube, and overall restoration intent should all match that older specification.
A 1969 Ford Mustang has seven listed tire sizes because that model year spans several wheel and performance combinations. The year includes 695-14, 735-14, E70-14, F70-14, FR70-14, E78-14, and C78-14. Most of those sizes share 14-inch wheels, but they represent different width and profile choices, and FR70-14 also introduces a radial-type option alongside bias-ply fitments.
The key implication is that year alone is not enough to choose the right tire for a 1969 Ford Mustang. You need to confirm the actual wheel diameter, then determine whether the car is being kept in a period bias-ply configuration or fitted with a radial-style option that matches the listed size. If the car is a restoration, use the wheel already on the car plus original paperwork, photos, or marque-club guidance to identify which of the seven listed sizes belongs on that specific Mustang.
Ford Mustang uses several different rim diameters across this production span. Early cars appear with 13-, 14-, and 15-inch applications, later cars add 16-, 17-, 18-, 19-, and 20-inch wheels, and some early-1980s cars use 390mm metric TRX wheels in sizes such as 190/65R390 and 220/55R390. That means the same model name covers both inch-based and metric wheel systems over time.
Wheel diameter is the most important first check before you select a Ford Mustang tire, because tires for a 14-inch wheel and a 390mm wheel are not substitutes for each other. Years with many listed sizes, especially around 1969, 1981, 1984, 2010, 2011, 2016, and 2020, often separate by wheel diameter as much as by trim or performance package. Confirm the wheel itself before comparing sidewall style, construction type, or tread design.
Crossply vs Radial
The right answer depends on which era of Ford Mustang you have and what you want the car to be. Early Mustang sizes such as 650-13, 695-14, 735-14, E70-14, F70-14, E78-14, C78-14, F60-15, and F78-14 are offered in bias-ply form, while later Mustang sizes are predominantly radial. A few transitional years also show radial-style choices, such as FR70-14, alongside bias-ply alternatives.
Choose bias-ply when period-correct look, stance, and restoration authenticity are the priority on an early Ford Mustang. Choose radial when the specific size and wheel package support it and the goal is more modern road behavior. The important thing is to match the construction to the car's intended use and to the exact size listed for that year and wheel diameter, rather than assuming one construction automatically replaces another.
Yes, radial tires can change how a Ford Mustang feels compared with bias-ply tires. The fitment range here shows a clear evolution from early bias-ply Mustang sizes into later radial sizes, and the construction change affects steering response, tracking, ride feel, and the overall character of the car. On early cars that were built around bias-ply tires, a radial conversion can make the driving experience feel less period-correct even when the size is appropriate.
That does not automatically make radial tires wrong for a Ford Mustang, but it does mean the owner should choose intentionally. A show-focused 1960s Mustang may benefit from staying with the bias-ply type that suits its era, while a regularly driven later car is usually best served by the radial size already associated with its wheel package. Decide whether authenticity or modern road manners matters more before selecting the construction.
Mixing crossply and radial tires on a Ford Mustang is generally not a good idea because the two constructions behave differently under steering, braking, and cornering loads. The Ford Mustang fitment range includes both bias-ply and radial-era sizes, but those options represent different tire technologies rather than mix-and-match components. Even when two listed sizes fit the same wheel diameter, the construction difference still matters.
For a Ford Mustang, the sound practice is to keep the same construction type on the complete set unless a marque specialist is guiding a very specific period competition or display application. That is especially important on earlier cars where steering feel and chassis behavior were tuned around older tire designs. If you are converting an early Mustang from bias-ply to radial, plan the change as a complete set rather than a partial replacement.
Buying the Right Tire
To confirm the correct tire size for a Ford Mustang, start with the model year, then identify the actual wheel diameter on the car, then match the size code to the listed options for that year. That process is essential because many years carry multiple sizes, including years like 1969, 1981, 1984, 2010, 2011, 2016, and 2020. Some of those splits involve different inch-based wheel diameters, while others include the separate 390mm metric TRX system.
Once the size code is narrowed down, compare the construction style and overall appearance you want. A 1968 Ford Mustang might call for a period bias-ply look, while a 2018 Ford Mustang is strictly a modern metric radial application with several width options depending on configuration. The safest path is to use the tire already on the car only as a clue, then verify it against the year listing and the wheel size before moving on to sidewall style or tread pattern.
Ford Mustang tire offerings here include a wide spread of sidewall styles: blackwall, narrow whitewall, wide whitewall, dual redline, redline, pin white stripe, raised white letters, raised white letters with blue stripe, goldline, and raised black lettering. The early and mid-1960s sizes lean toward blackwall, whitewall, and redline presentations, the muscle-era sizes add period performance styles such as RWL and pin stripe treatments, and later metric radial sizes broaden into blackwall and specialty classic-style redline or whitewall options.
That variety lets the owner tune a Ford Mustang toward factory-style restoration, day-two performance look, or a more custom period presentation. The important point is to match the sidewall style to the age and personality of the car rather than selecting by appearance alone. A wide whitewall may suit certain earlier or nostalgic builds, while redline, dual redline, or RWL treatments can better fit many muscle-era and later performance-oriented Mustang themes.
Ford Mustang tire products in this range come from Coker Classic, US Royal, BFGoodrich, Goodyear, Firestone, STA, Maxxis, Travelstar, Tornel, Michelin, Dunlop, Avon, M&H Racemaster, Nitto, Pro-Trac, and American Classic. Some brands are concentrated in early bias-ply applications, while others focus on later radial and modern performance sizes. The brand mix changes significantly depending on which Mustang era and size you are working with.
That means brand choice should come after fitment is settled, not before. If your Ford Mustang uses an early 14-inch bias-ply size, the available brands and tire families are very different from what you will see for a 19-inch or 20-inch modern Mustang application. Once you know the correct size and wheel diameter, you can compare brands by sidewall style, construction type, and the overall character you want the car to present.
Ford Mustang tire choices here span many series, including Coker Classic Bias Ply, US Royal Classic Bias Ply, Silvertown Classic Bias Ply, Blue Streak, Power Cushion, Wide Oval, Custom Wide Tread, Speedway Wide Tread, Polyglas Radial, Traxion, Transport Highway, Silvertown Radial, Star Series, Michelin TRX-B, Tornel Classic, Radial T/A, Eagle Gatorback, g-Force Sport Comp 2, g-Force Comp 2 AS, Michelin Pilot Sport, Street Pro III, Nitto NT555 G2, All Terrain T/A KO2, Asymmetrical Tread, and others. Those series represent very different intentions, from period bias-ply restoration tires to later performance radials and specialized metric TRX fitments.
For a Ford Mustang owner, the practical question is whether the car needs authenticity, a period performance look, or modern road-oriented behavior in a later size. The older series are tied closely to bias-ply appearance and muscle-era sidewall styling, while later radial series focus on contemporary handling, speed capability, and lower-profile fitments. Pick the series only after the correct size and wheel diameter are established, then match it to the age and purpose of the car.
Maintenance & Longevity
A stored Ford Mustang should be kept in a cool, dry, dark place with the tires protected from direct sunlight, ozone sources, and wide temperature swings. Clean floors, proper inflation, and avoiding long contact with petroleum products all help preserve the casing and sidewall. If the car will sit for extended periods, moving it occasionally or supporting weight properly can help prevent flat spotting, especially on older-style tires and lower-use collector applications.
The storage routine should reflect the era of the Ford Mustang. Early bias-ply-equipped cars benefit from especially careful storage because vintage-style constructions can take a set more readily, while later low-profile radial cars can still suffer from age and environmental damage even if tread remains deep. A stored collector Mustang should be treated as a preserved machine, not as a modern daily driver that can simply be parked and forgotten.
Tires on a Ford Mustang should be inspected regularly even when the car sees light use. At minimum, inspect them before each meaningful drive and again during routine service intervals, looking for age cracking, sidewall damage, uneven wear, embedded objects, pressure loss, and any change in ride or steering feel. Collector cars often age their tires out long before they wear them out, so visual condition matters as much as tread depth.
The inspection habit is especially important on a Ford Mustang with older bias-ply sizes, specialty sidewall treatments, or long periods of indoor storage. Performance-oriented later Mustangs with low-profile tires should also be watched closely for impact damage and shoulder wear that may not be obvious at a glance. A careful walkaround before driving is one of the simplest ways to protect both the car and the people riding in it.
Ford Mustang tires should be replaced when they show age cracking, hardening, bulges, separations, repeated air loss, impact damage, or other structural concerns, even if the tread still looks usable. Low-mile collector cars commonly reach that point by age rather than wear. The same rule applies to every Mustang era, from early bias-ply cars to later radial-equipped performance models.
The practical takeaway is that tread depth alone is not a reliable measure on a seldom-driven Ford Mustang. If the car spends much of its life in storage, calendar age and condition become the deciding factors. A very old tire, even one that still looks attractive on the outside, should be treated cautiously and evaluated with the same seriousness you would give any other aging mechanical component on a collector or specialty car.
Restoration & Authenticity
Original-type Ford Mustang tire fitment varies widely by year, because the range here covers early numeric bias-ply sizes, muscle-era alphanumeric bias-ply and radial-style sizes, and later metric radials. Early examples include 650-13 and 695-14, late-1960s and early-1970s cars move into sizes such as E70-14, F70-14, FR70-14, and F60-15, and later cars transition to metric radials including 195/75R14, 225/60R15, 225/55R16, and many newer performance sizes. Several tire series represented here also reflect different period approaches, including classic bias-ply, Wide Oval, Custom Wide Tread, Polyglas, and later radial families.
Because Ford Mustang fitment changes so much across body styles, wheel packages, and generations, the best restoration approach is to treat the year listing as the shortlist and then verify the exact car against original literature, window sticker information, build records, or marque-club expertise. That is especially important for years with many listed sizes. Correctly matching the size, construction, and sidewall style will have more authenticity value than choosing by brand name alone.
Yes, correct tire fitment can affect both the presentation and the judged authenticity of a Ford Mustang. Size, construction type, wheel diameter, and sidewall style all shape whether the car reads as properly restored for its year and configuration. A 1966 Ford Mustang on a period-style 695-14 bias-ply tire presents very differently from the same car on an obviously later radial format, just as a later Fox or SN95 car needs the right metric radial size to look correct.
For owners concerned with value, judging, or historical accuracy, tire choice should be approached as part of the restoration, not as an afterthought. The correct visual profile and sidewall treatment can materially change the stance and authenticity of a Ford Mustang. Marque clubs, restoration guides, and period photographs are the best references when deciding which listed size and sidewall style best match the specific car you are preserving.
The correct sidewall style for a Ford Mustang restoration depends on year, wheel package, and the image the car originally carried. Available styles here include blackwall, narrow whitewall, wide whitewall, dual redline, redline, pin white stripe, raised white letters, raised white letters with blue stripe, and goldline. Earlier Mustangs commonly suit blackwall, whitewall, or redline presentations, while many late-1960s and early-1970s performance cars align more naturally with redline, pin stripe, or raised-letter looks.
For a restoration, the best choice is the one that matches the specific Ford Mustang configuration rather than the one that simply looks most dramatic. Sidewall style can change the entire stance and visual period of the car, especially on 1960s and 1970s applications. If the goal is judged accuracy, compare the listed sidewall options with original photos, sales literature, and marque-club references before making the final call.
Safety & Road Use
A Ford Mustang can be driven on public roads when the tires fitted are the correct size for the wheel, in sound condition, properly inflated, and appropriate to the car's era and intended use. That answer covers everything from early bias-ply Mustang applications to later high-performance radial sizes. The important distinction is that a safe road setup depends on correct fitment and condition, not simply on whether the tire matches the model name.
For a collector Ford Mustang, road safety starts with an honest look at age, condition, and configuration. Early cars on bias-ply tires deserve conservative use and realistic expectations, while later Mustangs on modern radial sizes still require the proper wheel width, load capability, and overall condition. Before regular driving, make sure the full set is matched correctly and the suspension, brakes, and steering are as ready as the tires themselves.
Before driving a Ford Mustang, check inflation pressure, visible sidewall condition, tread condition, wheel security, and whether all four tires match the intended size and construction for the car. On early cars, make sure any bias-ply fitment is in good condition and seated properly; on later cars, verify that low-profile radials show no cuts, bulges, or impact damage. If the car uses a special wheel system such as 390mm TRX, that should also be confirmed before any movement.
A short pre-drive inspection is especially worthwhile on a Ford Mustang that sits for long periods. Collector use, seasonal driving, and occasional show mileage can let age-related issues develop quietly between outings. If anything feels off in steering, braking, or ride quality once the car is moving, stop and recheck the tire and wheel setup rather than assuming it will clear up with driving.
Appropriate speed in a Ford Mustang depends heavily on which original-type tire era the car belongs to. Early and muscle-era bias-ply applications should be driven with more restraint than later radial-equipped Mustangs, because the construction, profile, and handling behavior are different. A 1960s Ford Mustang on period-style bias-ply tires should be treated as a vintage car with vintage tire manners, while later metric radial cars can be used more normally if the tires are correct and in sound condition.
The smart approach is to let the oldest and most specialized part of the package set the pace. Even a powerful Ford Mustang should be driven within the limits of its tire construction, wheel setup, and overall condition. Smooth inputs, conservative speed, and a margin for braking and cornering are especially important on older restorations, while later performance Mustangs still benefit from respecting the tire's age, wear, and intended road use.
