Hey guys. After several hiccups, I am finally getting my '59 Custom Suburban on the road. I was hoping someone could tell what size 15" tires I can run to get the same/similiar profile as the original 14". I've been told three different things by three different tire "experts".

Planning on getting them tomorrow, so any help would be appreciated.

The most original looking size would be..P195/75 R15 This is a 26.5 inch tall tire, One half inch taller than the orignal tire. If you want a heavier duty tire perfix the P with LT Light truck tire.
