I have 6:50x16 Cooper tires on my 49. They have been there for about 12 years and ride beautifully with plenty of tread left. I considered radials but cannot justify scrapping these.
Here is a question on the radial tires fitting the stock narrow width rims which are about 4 or 5 inches. Some say the rim is too narrow for radials. Any comments?
