Does anyone have any experience with modern radials on 42-48 sedans? This has probably been beat to death in the past but I can't find the answer I am looking for in a search.

I am well aware of the Coker and Diamondback options, however I plan to use my car on some long trips and have had problems in the past with non current tires. No matter how good a tire is there is nothing you can do when traveling through Alaska and Canada and ruin a tire. The only tires I can find need 5.5 inch wheels as a minimum. I haven't had a problem with my Model A or F100 but it seems like the fender to tire clearance is smaller on the fat rendered Fords.
