I will likely replace bias ply 8.20 Firestones (badly flat-spotted by prolonged storage of my '54 Capri). P235/75R15's are at least an inch wider section than...
I overlooked all sorts of prior postings on related subjects, sorry for being redundant. This black sedan still looks quite good with the bias Firestones...
Hey Gil, For what it's worth, I just replaced my 800 X 15 bias tires on my '54 Capri (they were 10-12 years old and dry rot concerned me) with Diamond Back...
Thanks, Carl. Just curious... what was the underlying tire product used by Diamond Back for your tires? That "beauty bar" seems a great idea, was used on some...

Many thanks for the information. I've noticed that the selection of 75 series tires offered by major "name" brands is recently diminishing. The 205/75 Yokohama...
Gil, Yes, you understood me correctly.? My mechanic told me that my old 800 X 15 bias tires had only a "paper" thin clearance with the front ball joints, so I...
when i got my 52 it had 235/75's on it. I didnt run into any clearance issues, but I didnt like the look of those. Right now I've got something small, a 215...

My '54 is emerging from approximately 15-17 year storage, and I may potentially have more to worry about than flat-spotted tires. A '58 Stude President was...
