I need to get new tires for my '48 F-1. I want radial equivalents to the 6.00X16 standard originals. I know that Coker sells an "R" version, but they are a bit more pricy than my wallet will be happy with. What size of regular radial tire should I be looking for? 215/85R16 has been suggested. They have the right diameter, but are a bit wider. Comments?
