1953 Buick Special Convertible Tires

[robautobod]

I'm looking for what brand of tire was originally on the 1953 Buick Special Convertible. Was it a BF Goodrich? Thanks, Robin

Your 1953 Buick Special had original 7.60" - 15" tires from either U.S. Royal, Firestone, or Goodrich, as noted in the attached spec page taken from the 1952 BUICK SHOP MANUAL.

​Note that ".....the 1953 BUICK SHOP MANUAL furnishes service information on those items in 1953 models which are different from 1952 models. Where design and service procedures are identical with 1952 models, reference is made to the appropriate section of the 1952 Buick Shop Manual......"

Whitewall width for 1953 was 3".
