Replacing tires on my 64 convertible

The tires on my 64 convertible are old, tired, and cracked, although they still have good tread. I am looking for an inexpensive replacement set (since it is not driven alot) having the classic thin whiteall. Any recommendations?

Also-Can you any convertible owners of the 64-66 era tell me what size radials you are using? Thanks

Prior posts stated the use of a 215/70-15, 215/75-15 and 205/75-15's if this helps.

215/75R15 is a good substitute for the OE tire. They are fairly common in most markets. Note that the Kelsey-Hays wire wheels were still available as an option on the '64 models. These wheels were 14 inch and carried 8.00-14 tires.
