see the bottom of page for photos. The 2 3/8" size is
correct.

As you may be aware the 1960 Imperial tyre
was 820x15. If you specifically want the B.F.Goodrich Silvertown Vintage
Tyre then you have a choice of a whitewall width of 1" , 2 1/2" or the 3
5/8 ". I believe that the original whitewall width was around 2 1/2
". I had a similar problem with my 1960 Whitewalls. I bought the Firestone
but went for their 3 1/2" width. If you are after the
B.F.Goodrich tyre then I suppose you would buy the 2 1/2". This tyre is a
4 Ply Poly.
I know that Richard Burgess had an
original whitewall in the boot of his 1960 Crown when he got it so he will
know what the original width was. I'm sure he would measure it for
you.

Subject: IML: 60 whitewall
width
Greetings everyone
I apologize in advance
for a question that could be answered by simply searching the archives.
But darn if I can find it!
I am trying to find what should be
the correct width of a 60 Imperial's whitewall.
As close as I can
tell its anywhere from 2-1/2 inches up to
3.Specifically I want the width for the B.F. Goodrich Silvertown
tire.
