Tire Brand and Correct White Wall Width 1959 Skyliner
New to forum and could not find newer posts for this subject. If one exists, would appreciate being pointed to it so I don't have to start a new thread needlessly.
The newly acquired '59 Skyliner's 800 x 14 tires are old and cracked and I have no idea if whitewall width is correct for the period. I definitely want radials and think I want bias look radial tires but would like your opinions. My questions are:
1)What source and brand is currently the best
2)Is 800R14 correct or is there a metric conversion size that matches it
3)What is the correct whitewall width. The car will not be judged, but I don't want a 1 inch stripe if 2 1/2 or 3 1/4" was correct
4)Are bias look radials the way to go or is there a technical downside to running those reproductions for appearance sake
5)Any other tips that I may be overlooking
Any and all advice based on your experience or opinion will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Bill
