"It's getting harder to find modern radaials in vintage sizes,
P225 or 235/75/15 or /70/15 are becoming scarce. "

TRue, very true. I'm not running any 13 or 14 inch wheels and tires except on utility trailors and such. 15" tires are becomming more and more scarce even at new tire stores.

Wheel diameters tend to run in trends over long periods of time vs basic vs deluxe model cars. But any future trend change back to 15" may not help us any during the interrem.

I've not begun to study any of the 16" modern wheels but probably need to. Quite possibly we mite have to go to 16" on our cars simply due to size availability in the near future. IIRC i checked my '01 Dodge Ram with 16" and they do not fit bolt pattern of 56 Executive. I may need to check that again tho.
