Looking for advice on tires. I currently have 6.00-16, another persons car had 6.50-16. Bias or radial, whitewall or black wall.

Also looking for universal seat covers until I can fix interior, any vendors suggested?

Thank you

    My 1937-model car originally had 6.00 - 16 (bias ply) tires, and I switched to 6.50 - 16 bias plies, and got a slightly nicer ride. However, you will have to make sure that your old rims will accommodate the wider 6.50's, and also make sure that when you make a turn, the 6.50's will not rub against your fenders, steering or suspension members.

    Last time I bought tires, I switched to 6.00 - 16 radials. Although not as vintage looking as the bias ply ones, they seem to have more control, and I don't get stuck in "truckers' ruts" when driving down the Interstate.
