I don't know for sure, but think you need 80 or 85 series tire to be that
tall. Also think only a 195 or such narrow tire to stay orig looking. Myself
would get wider and smaller diameter, probly for better ride. Speedo may be
off, but So What, I say!

Subject: [oletrucks] Old Tire Sizes
> Does anyone know what the modern tire size equivalent would be for the
original 6.50 x 16 tires that came on the '53 Chevy AD trucks? Assuming a
radial, I want a tire with the same diameter and approximately the same
width. i.e. P205R70 -16 or LT20575-16 or ????
