Also, (Speed) "I'd go with LT215/85R-16 Michelins,or Pirellis if you can find 'em. Very close to same size as stock,you can find some that even have the old timey looks too. They're not "too heavy for a little 1/2 ton AD truck",as it IS a truck,and these ARE Light Truck(LT) tires."
My experience exactly, I'm a daily driver, close to 30k miles, several 2k round-trips. BTW, I found a used set of 215 85R 16's for short money, after 30K still looking good. I have a '49 3100, '56 235, '848 head', Fentons, 1-2bbl H-W, dual 30" glasspacks, '62 3sp+od, run 70-75 mph all day long (at 2100 rpm), 20mpg highway, and it ain't flat around these parts.
