At the risk of being accused of being redundant, I'll run this up the pole one more time.
Last spring I acquired 5 wagon rims. c1963, to replace the rims that my '62 2 door arrived with.
I chose Vredestein 185HR15 tires to mount on these because they most closely matched the original bias ply tire (within 1/4" of OD and somewhat wider, but with no descernable bulge) that the car came with new. I know this because I still have, in good condition, the original WW Firestone bias ply spare to compare it to. Great looking tires and quite road worthy. Handling is great with only a rear anti-sway bar installed. Check them out, I paid $130 a copy but that isn't much more than a "Coker" Michelin would be and probably a better tire.
Mean while is there any interest in my old rims 15x4.5X6" measured across the rim ID, 7"OD.
They will also accept the early 10" hub cap and the original beauty rims. These had 195s Michelins on them when they came with the 2dr and worked quite well. NO rubs ever.
They also have a part # that is reminiscent of Volvo, but they do not have a Volvo logo.
