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

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 Bill | | | | | Joined: Dec 2009 Posts: 38 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Dec 2009 Posts: 38 | Thanks Bill, I would love to see this thread take off and hear a bunch of different stories and different theories on tires.
