Tire Size, Type & Source of Supply 120-130 1960

posted by  someone claiming to be Cameron Price on  Wed Aug 15 03:16 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I'm restoring this vehicle and need to replace the tires. If I decide to stay with the original tires, these were described as a "low pressure 550 - 15" white sidewall". I've found a source for 590 - 15 with a 2 5/8" whitewall (www.coker.com), but would like any other suggested sources, preferably in Canada. Another alternative is to go to a blackwall radial, such as a Michelin X-Stop 165R15, which improves the handling and ride tremendously. I converted my first PV-544 from bias ply to X-Stop then ZX radials in 1971 and I can still remeber that the differences were remarkable. Coker can supply both types of tires (X-Stop & bias ply), but I'd like your advice on what are the pros and cons of each type of tire.

Thanks...Cam
