    FYI, 
     I suggest buy 225x75 R15 tires...... I bought set of 215x 75 R15 then removed after a few days for 225's because the motor was reving higher than I liked driving the Interstate.
  • I like a 225/75R-15, little taller and is equivalent to a 7.60-15 which was optional
  • Thanks

    Am running 235/75x15  on my '53. But, do have power steering and carry the stock bumper jack & axle scissor jack.
    Edit: And chocks.
    Also remember that the larger tires will not go down in the tire well in the trunk !!
