Just checked with my local tire dealer today for replacement tiresfor
my '56 Bubble which originally had 700-15 tires. I am looking for a
white wall and best I have found is a Cooper trailer tire, 225/75/15ST
(8 ply) at $95.00 a pop. As you probably know the ST is a special
trailer tire which means it has toucher side walls. It is a good tire
and the only thing that worries me is that it is about 2 1/2 inches
smaller in diameter so have to figure out what this means when attached
to the tow vehicle. There are other options if I avoid white walls.

I will look forward to other advice that comes your way.
