tyres

hello ! what are good tyres to put on a W187 type 220 ?

Would prefer whitewalls and a tyre that provides light steering at parking speeds

The std 4.5 inch non safety rims have been replaced with 5.5 inch safety rims off a later model

thankyou in advance , Murray Mules

I have 6.70 X 15 bias whitewall tires from BF Goodrich. A bit taller and wider than the 6.40 X 15 tires

I get my tires from Diamondback Tires.

They have a wide range of tires and whitewall options.
I actually use steel-belted radials because I drive my car a lot, and wanted good road stability.

Scott - thanks for that sir . Q. does your car have the std 4.5 x 15 rims ..and if so what size radial tyres do you have on yours please ? / Murray Mules

I should have checked my reply.  Only half of it got posted.  The most relevant parts didn't get included for some reason??

Yes, I have standard rims.  Three appear to be newer than the fourth, but they have been fine.
Tire size 185/80R15 or 185HR15 is pretty close to the size of original bias-ply in height and not too wide for fenders.

I bought two sets over the years.  First was Federal brand, and second set was Vredestein.  Diamondback uses production run tires and will customize the sidewall to your choice.  I have a 2.5" whitewall added and it looks great.
The company has been great to deal with from helping to source the tires and prompt service.

I believe Coker also is a popular company, but I have not used them.
