padgett Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 A 7.60x15 was before profiles (width) were a factor. Think they were approximately an 80 profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloo Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) Probably closer to 90 or 100 in 1949. The change to an 80 (or 82) aspect ratio for American tires occurred around 1965. Most of the new sizes ended in a "5" instead of a "0". For instance, 6.70-15 is a size that existed before the changeover, and 7.75-14 is one that probably didn't.
