[Roadsters] Fwd: RE: '67 original bias-ply tire source

[Dan Zubkoff]

I believe that the 67 had a standard 1 inch W.W.

Nowadays, the 1.25-1.5 inch white walls (on either 13 or 14 inch rims) seem to be radials set-up for lowriders. They are pretty readily available & are less costly than the BF Goodrich Bias-Ply Tire.

The standard 1 inch white walls radials (175/70r14) are also still available and pretty inexpensive.

     I don't know if whitewalls (aka WWWs, or wide-white-walls) were  standard, so if someone knows about the '67 in that regard that'd be good to  know too, and also the width of the whitewall stripe.  I've seen some  pictures of unknown year 310s, 311s, with 1", 1.5", and then also 1.5"-2"++  where the whitewall "stripe" not only mates with the bead but seems also to  go under the bead like spats a marching band member would wear, if you can see  that in your mind's eye.
