After taking a year to decide on my new wheels and buying them it seems tires are a roadblock. Bought 15" wheels so I could away from the 14" wheels for more choices. Won't go larger because they look very wrong on a 1968 car. Size tire I am looking for is 225/60-15 which I know will fit the front of the car. The Firehawk Indy 500 has only a 235/60-15 which could be trouble. All the Radial T/As are special order around here which adds $35-40 extra per tire so that is out. Makes it seem that I have to settle for a simple blackwall tire like maybe the Sumitomo HTR A1S PO1. Has great reviews in dry traction and quiet ride but is only 215/60-15 which almost matches the stock diameter for the speedometer. I took tomorrow off to bring the wheels in but it looks like it will be pointless as it could take time to find something. This right after getting the wrong mufflers shipped to me which puts that task off also...
