I run LT215/85R-16 all season radials on the stock 16" x 5" rims on both my '49 & '51 1/2 tons. They love it and handle great. We take a lot of road trips and pull a vintage camper with the '51. This size tire is a little taller and a little wider than the 6.00 x 16's that came on the trucks from the factory.

The original tires on my truck are:
6.70-15 nylon 4-ply
What comparable radial could I use?
