I was at a tire shop the other day in search of tires for me 66 W300. If you are using 16 inch split rims, a 235/85/16 radial will be almost a direct replacement for the stock 7.50-16 tires. If you want something a tad taller a 255/85/16 will work nicelly. It should bring your engine rpm down a little also. I have 4.88s and 50mph is about tops without hurting the engine. You must also install radial tubes--NOT bias tubes. Good luck! John
