http://imperialclub.com/Yr/1960/Brochure/Pages10-11.jpg Pictured in the catalog are the goodyear tires. http://imperialclub.com/Yr/1960/Brochure/Page21.jpg There is an option for Nylon (not Rayon) tires, so I'm betting that there was an alternate (Silvertown?) available. Virtually any 9x15 bias-ply tire will look correct, run your speedo properly, ride in a way that is harmonious with your suspension design, and only a handfull of people (mostly here on the IML) will know the difference if you take a walk on the wild side and skip the Firestones. The Silvertown with the smaller white wall is my preference. I like the small ribs on the outer edge better than the smooth sides of the Firestones, which set the tires apart visually and look significantly different from a radial, even at a glance. Coker offers both, if I am not mistaken. -K "Just say NO to radials for your 66 or older american car" --- Clay Smith <imperialman67@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > The original spare in my 60 is a B.F.Goodrich > Silvertown. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: randalpark@xxxxxxx > To: mailing-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Sent: Wednesday, December 27, 2006 1:16 PM > Subject: Re: IML: 60 OEM tire supplier? > > > The original spare in my mother's 1960 Imperial is > a Goodyear Double Eagle. > > Paul W. > > > -----Original Message----- > From: tkwillson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To: mailing-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Sent: Tue, 26 Dec 2006 5:47 PM > Subject: IML: 60 OEM tire supplier? > > > I would like to know what company made the factory > installed tires for the 60 Imperial? > Thanks > Tom > > > > ----------------- http://www.imperialclub.com > ----------------- > This message was sent to you by the Imperial > Mailing List.
