I recently bought 235/75-15's and they are wonderful! No issues whatsoever with steering effort. It's like riding on pillows, and they are the right "look" IMO. Got them for about $100/tire delivered. Goodyear RT/S

Looks to be a 70s Ford hubcap.

70's caps I have are a flat face dog dish. But I s'pose they could be some sort or another newer. (than 40's)

I thought they were '70's Ford truck caps, but on a thread here about 6 months ago they were identified as early-50's Ford car hubcaps (it looks like I forgot to write it down

). Got them off eBay from a guy in town. The wheels are '70's truck, so no issues with modern tubeless tires, they have the safety bead.

48ATOY,

Thanks for the Miller link. The 6.00 X 16s on their website match the Nankangs that I have currently. At least now I can get a matching spare. I finally got an extra wheel with the inside nubs, sanded, primed, painted and have it sitting in the garage because I couldn't find an appropriate tire.

That raises a new question, did the F1 come with a jack? If so, anyone know where I could pick one up?

Thanks
