hey everyone, im in ergent need of tires but dont have the money for them at the moment but i have a a complete set or Firestone HR-78/15 M/S tires that are practically new. Do you guys see any problems with me using these tires??? from what iv researched that size is equal to 235/70/15 tires and my tires that are on now are 235/75/15, is that correct????

any info appreciated, thanks!!

 

if the only difference is one size smaller on the sidewall, then is should be no problem.


EDIT: Where did you get these tires? I can't find anything on the googles about them...Are they Passenger or LT tires? Radials?

 

one of my friends dads said i could take them for free, im at work at the moment so i cant look at them to see what exactly they are but i just remember them saying HR-78R15 M/S ASR firestone

 

The only problem with those tires is that they are about 20 years old. I would worry about the safety of those .
This was the number for tire in those day's

 

wow so there that old hey hahaha well they look like they are in really good shape, almost new

 

which is why they are free for the taking!
I'd look them over well!

 

fr=205 If I remember well those were the conversion number
gr=215 If they were properly store they might still be good
hr=225 make sure there is no crack on the side walls
Lr=235
