I'm not real familiar with the 1950 Packard. But i think it reasonable to assume that the 225-75 R15's should be just rite. Check for fender clearence. If u can get 235's in there i'd run those.

For many decades and many 100's of thousands of miles i have ran the CHEAPEST DAMNED off brand tyres i can find but always about 1 size larger than what the car was delivered with from the factory. I'm not familiar with the Hercules brand. But i'm not afraid of an off brand tyre either.

Bottom line is to put on a tyre that is BIG ENUF. Stay with the 75 series or larger diameters. And buy the cheapest priced tyre u can find in that size.
