41 Champion tire sizes

It should steer easier with the 5.50-16 bias ply tires. They look skinny by today's standards but it's enough for the car. The Coker site shows the same price for 5.50 or 6.00. A radial tire option is P215-85/R16LT. This is a light truck tire, commonly available, could be a lot cheaper. Ford Stoecker and others have used them on 4.5" wide rims.

Gary,

I am leaning that way myself. With the brakes and engine in this car I just don't see what the larger tire gets me. And going back to stock size will probably fix the small error in my speedometer. The truck tire is a hell of a lot cheaper but I am a sucker for wide whitewalls.

I prefer the 30 year old ones where the white walls go further out,

I was able to aquire some New vintage tires today, I will post later size and photos,

the white walls still dont go out as far as your old ones.
