27×14

27x14 refers to a specific tire size designation used for vehicles, particularly in the context of older or classic automobiles. The "27" denotes the approximate outer diameter of the tire in inches, while the "14" indicates the diameter of the wheel rim in inches that the tire is designed to fit. This sizing system is distinct from the more modern radial tire sizing, which uses a format like P215/75R15. Tires designated as 27x14 are typically bias-ply tires, a construction method that predates the widespread adoption of radial tires. These tires were common on a range of vehicles from the mid-20th century, including American sedans and station wagons. Finding tires in this specific size can be challenging today, as the automotive industry has largely transitioned to radial tires and different sizing standards. Enthusiasts of classic cars often seek out 27x14 tires to maintain the original specifications and aesthetic of their vehicles. The availability of these tires is now limited to specialized tire manufacturers and retailers catering to the vintage car market.
