im trying to find out if 15inch tires on a 71 ford ltd can be taken off and put on a 94 mercury grand marquis with the same tire size. im pretty sure they can but i just want to find out possitively before i buy them. thanks for the help.

Those tires don't know what make or model they are on. sure it will work. If they are old bias plys I would'nt attempt.

i hope they were stored in a vat of asrmor all [sm=americanasmiley.gif]

I loved Bias ply tires. They rode better and exploded safer. Steel belts make hellish shrapnel. But anything that old - I'd look for sidewall dryrot (fine cracks)first. Some 15" tires will not fit other 15" rims. Width IS a factor. If you take a tire off an abnormally wide (not stock) rim and try to put it on a new skinny rim it's basicallya no-go. Also (to argue the bias ply theory) I never slit open my hands oon a corded belt - steel belts though I saw a guy shred his hand once. Steel belts aren't so great, and metal belts dent - cords resist. Think of that the next time your steel belts hit a bad area of the road and get unbalanced beyond the ability for repair.
