Getting back to tires, good. I had to replace two 700X15 tires on a '70 Globetrotter. I tried using the 225 tires recommended but THEY were too wide to fit into the wheel wells. You can still get 700X15 tires in load ranges C (6 ply) and D (8 ply). The D tires are about $10 more and worth
every penny in peace of mind. Your dealer will have to order these tires, few maintain them in stock.
