[VAC] Tires for 1969 Caravel
After reading the postings and looking at Tom Patterson's List, I ordered
two new Goodyear Marathon ST225 R75 15D tires for my 1969 Caravel. The
previous owner had passenger tires (205-70R 15) on the trailer. The tires
are ready to go on the new rims that I purchased. Here is where I need some
advice. Looking at the old and new tires, it appears to me that the new
tires are going to be a little snug in the Caravel's wheel well. Of
course, the best way to test this would be to mount everthing up, but I
don't want to foul up the new tires in case I need to return them. Would
appreciate some guidance. Thanks.
