I sure wish there was a forum for this, maybe one day. I've talked to a few tire guys and have had a few different answers to my question of what is the proper size of tire (radial) for my 59 3100. What I'm looking for is some answers from the guys with actual road expirience. The wheels are stock and I guess I'm after that stock look, possibly a little wider? Also what kind of side wall, redline, 1 inch w/w or all black?
Any opinions or pictures are welcome.
PS I have the stock hub caps and what I believe are stock beauty rings from the cameo.
Thanks everybody

some of that is preference, original would not have been redline or ww - I prefer truck tires that not only match the original specs pretty well, but wear and handle well, which means not weak sidewall P type tires .... Yokohama 7.00R15LT work for me around town and on the highway and look right .... in my experience the wider P tires, especially on wider rims, is hard on the front spindles and bearings
