I'm running 4.5"x15” Stock 1966 122 Wagon slotted rims, freshly powder coated on a 122s two door sedan with IPD front sway bars.

I've read what I can find about 122 tires and it seems some run fine, handle nice, low road noise, decent tread life, but not all at same time, and others produce loud road noise and short tread life.

Also noted from prvious threads: 175/65/15 work well, while 185/65/15 bulge a little on the 4.5" rims.

What BRAND of tire (Manufacturer and tire style line name) is currently sold in 175/65/15 that provides solid traction on main arterial roads (California) while minimizing road hum noise…where’s the modern replacement for basic Michelins, Continentals and Pirellis of the 70’s?
