That's what I was thinking. I still have my full size spare on a bias ply tire in the trunk... for nostalgia purposes I guess! It could be the original, and I'm not sure how far I'd get on a 55 year...

Thanks b-man. I've owned full size cars most of my adult life, and the newer ones usually hovered in the low 30's for psi recommendations. My 2019 Cadillac CT6 says 32 front and 35 rear, which is...

Tire psi

How do you guys calculate the correct psi to run in your tires? Obviously our cars don't have a handy sticker in the driver's doorjamb to give that guidance.

I just got new tires on my '69...

69 Executive - poor nose :(

I tried to make my Executive’s endura nose surface last as long as possible, but it’s gotten to the point of hopelessness. See attached photo.

With half of the material missing and the rest...

I’d be interested in seeing that combo on the 67 Bonnie, as I’m still looking for a good replacement wheel/tire combo for my 69 Executive coupe. ��

Absolutely beautiful! If I could snap my fingers and do one thing to my '69 Executive, it would be to turn it into a convertible. And fix the nose. ;)

I've read all the threads I could find here on tire size options for our Darksiders. For 15" it seems that 235/70, 225/75, and 225/70 are all decent size replacements for the original bias ply sizes....
