FWIW:
When we picked up our '64 Trade Wind last month, we had a
blowout about 50 miles into the return trip home. The old bias plys on the
split rims must of just had enough - time for new tires.
We did not really have the choice of shopping around, as our
spare was old and mounted on the same split rim, so a Big O tire shop gave us
what we needed:
Dynatrac Express Highway
7.00 - 15
8 ply
max load dual 1800 @ 60 psi
cold
max load single 2040 @ 60 psi cold
We got three of these along with some rims.
I would have prefered to go with a Goodyear tire, but...didn't
have a choice. And I thought I wanted a radial, but apparently a bias ply
sidewall is supposed to be superior to a radial tire (something about the way
the belts go around under the rubber). Anyways, we have what we
have...until the next time we have a tire failure.
