Tires recommendations
I need to replace a tire on my 66 f100 so I may go ahead and get a new set. Previous owner put mastercraft a/s IV white walls on there. They’re fine but I’ve always wanted something that looks a little more utilitarian. Really like the look and price of the power king super highway ii but they’re bias ply LT tires and multiple people at the tire shop said I’d be unhappy with the stiff ride and inevitable flat spots. Coker has some nice pie crust style tires that would probably do the trick but they cost twice as much if not more. Any suggestions for tires to check out? Thx.

Perhaps. I’ve been having a hard time finding a pic of what the original tires looked like. Everything I’ve seen has been an advertisement (lower quality) or an illustration. I think the narrow whitewalls are period correct but I do want to get away from a whitewall. The size on my truck now is 235 75/r15.

bias ply tires get flat spots over night. First thing in the morning they bounce down the road until they warm up. Winter is worse than summer. After the first few mornings you don't really notice it anymore. Just one of those annoying things you accept. I intend to run the 7.50-16 10 ply mud and snows that Simple tire has for winter tires.

FWIW, the '66 brochure shows thin WW on the cover, blackwalls inside.
Too, 235-78R/15s are too tall, make the speedometer read slow. And radials, besides not period correct, are harder to turn.
