Hi Guys -
You should consider getting 560-15s. This is a very common bias-ply
tire size in the US and you can choose from about a half a dozen
suppliers in this size (Firestone, Bridgestone, Flinstone etc.).
Prices usually are around $90-$100 a piece for these, but I bet you
can find them cheaper if you look hard enough. try

All these tires have the right diameter... and the 560 tread will
still drive very nice on a roadster with original wheels. Remember...
if its only available in white wall, usually you can turn the white
wall face to the inside if you want a black wall.
Regards,
Alan
