I'm about to replace the bias ply tires on my 1956 TR3 with radials. The
correct size appears to be 165R15. I'm currently running 590-15 U. S. Royals
on Dayton 48 spokers.
My problem is I want to replace the spare as well.
The current spare in a 70's vintage 600-15 bias on a 48 spoke Dunlop and it
fits but very tightly (i.e. height). I figured if a tire from my TR4A (165R15
Firestone F560 on 60 spoke Dayton) fits, I'm good. Unfortunately it doesn't!
If you have a pre TS60000 TR3 (or TR2) with a radial spare aboard, I'd
appreciate knowing what you are running and how tight the fit is. I say pre
60000, because the pan changed at that point, I imagine getting deeper?
Thanks in advance for your input.
Brian
