I can't seem to find info on what brand, size, radial or bias, white wall width that originally came on my 65 convertible. I finally unwrapped the spare tire and it looks like new, but for sure an old tire.
Thanks

I think the original tires were L78-15 bias ply with 1" whitewall.

I use these on my '66 convertible and '66 coupe and they look perfect, giving the car correct stance. Drive nice, too.

Re: 65 original tires
From my memory of the owner's manual in the '65 that I had, from '70 - '71, the original size was 9.15-15 bias-ply.

Re: 65 original tires
Is the spare a Good Year Power Cushion whitewall, 9.15-15 ? If it is then you can be relatively sure that it's the factory installed spare tire or one just like it.
