Re: General Jet Air II tire question
I attach a thumbnail (located at bottom) of the original owner of my '65 coupe # 014xx, probably taken in 1965 or 6, in Flagstaff AZ. Believe you can see that he's already got a different (thinner) set of whitewalls on the back; after all, L76 with 4.11's and air (note the nose sitting lower).
I don't know if General or the 4 other whitewall tire suppliers might have had slightly different widths. I have a (year unknown) non-DOT 7.75 US Royal and a set of repro Firestone Deluxe Champions, and they are both 0.86" wide. The US Royal might be 1966 vintage.
