Also note the last statement in the post above by BH about the 'safety rims'.

There is a difference in the OEM 56 wheel and the more modern nearly identicle 1980 Dodge wheel. The difference is a stamped safety bead that runs radialy around the wheel near the outer flange of the 1980 Dodge wheel. The OEM 56 Packard wheel does not have it.

NONETHELESS, since REpop bias ply tires are not to OEM spec then how do we know that such REpop biasply tires are any better for the 56 OEM wheel than the modern radial tire would be????
