Re: New Battery

If you have a Rural King close by, there Group-1 battery sells for $39.99 made by Exide.

https://www.ruralking.com/battery-6v-625-cca.html

It's going to be hard to beat that price or value.

Re: Best Anti-Freeze

For polling purposes, I like the old fashioned ethylene glycol mixed with distilled water.

Re: Radial tires

If your rims are in good structural condition you should have no problem.
