Been doing some research as I need to put a some new shoes on my baby...it looks like the new equivalent to the old 6.00x16 tires is either a 195x45R 16 or a 205x45R 16. Wondering what other owners have mounted on their original SPEN wheels. Need to purchase 3 Tires ASAP but don't want to use NDT's . Recommendations and advice appreciated!!

Found a set of new 7.5 x 16 blackwalls that look period correct and at a much better price of $199.00, shipped to the house. Also picked up 2 new 7.5 x 16 intertubes. Will shoot some pics when they arrive.
