Default Correct Tire 82A V8-60hp

For a "82A V8 - 60hp Coupe", am I correct in saying the Coker Firestone, 550-16, Bias-Ply, Blackwall is the closest tire on the market to what would be correct coming from the factor?

Yes, most likely those would be the closet to authentic you're likely to find. Keep in mind that 6:00 x 16" were an option for your car.

Just to clarify; the 6.00 x 16 tire fits and runs well on the 16 x 3.5 inch rims and is close to factory correct, which would be your recommendation due to ride.

When the vehicle was fitted with the 6:00 tires, the rims were supposed to be swapped out for the 4".
Keep in mind, those 3 1/2" rims are worth some serious money.

Nice to here something is worth money, most of the time it just costs. I am going with the Firestone 550-16. Thanks!
