Hello Steve:

Take a look at the bottom part of this page from the Diamondback catalogue, (page 17):http://www.dbtires.com/2011_catalog/hi/17.htm While they advertise them for "for pre-1948 Luxury cars" (read CCCA cars) they should work for your 1954.

These tires are radials, but built in bias-ply sizing. I am putting them on my 1941 120 business coupe. Notice the absense of radial sizing e.g. 225/75R15. Therefore, you get the proper aspect ratio of a bias-ply tire.

Give Diamondback a toll-free call. Even if you do not buy from them they will share a wealth of sizing information with you.
