I have had several options and opinions given.
All of which I have asked for and am grateful for. One was to buy "newer" 15" rims so I could fit any size radial tire I want.
What I have found will not allow me to run the OEM type hub caps, plus the "newer" rims are made different so the look will be different.
I have decided to buy the bias tires $136 per tire + tubes and go that route.
This car will not likely see any trips over an hour long. and probably less than 3 or 4k miles a year.
the savings will allow me to do a few other things i want as well.
