Hi Jerry:
I measured the tires for you. (These are new Gillett 165R15 / 86T from
Hendrix Wire Wheels - mounted on new Dayton 527 72-spoke wheels.
Tire pressure is 30 lbs. Overall diameter - off the car - is 25 1/8
inches.
I measured the overall tire width at the widest point. 7 inches. Tire
tread width is 5 3/4 inches.
