<VV> Tires for a 63 Spyder

[Eric S. Eberhard]

I have really nice Firestones on my 62 Spyder with correct whitewall and a 
bit wider.  They don't make them anymore :-(  I hear that California 
Corvairs has a supplier of custom made radials that can be had in that 
size.  Jeff at CA Corvairs knows the size.  These tires are great if you 
want a 100% stock diameter and 100% stock look but a wider tread 
pattern.  Otherwise, you need to compromise on something (whitewall size is 
one of them as well as diameter).  You can see pictures of these tires from 
links below.
