My four door Custom came to me with the original 15 inch wheels, but I'm not sure what the original bias ply tire size would have been. In any case I want to replace the worn out oversized radials that came with the car with the appropriate size. P225/70R15 is too small for sure - what does the Packard community suggest?

If you go to the model information tab and check out the 22nd, I think you'll find that info. I know I looked it up for 23s. But don't recall which source its in.

OEM size for 2206/2306 was 8.20 x 15. Be forewarned, clearance in the rear wheel wells is quite limited.

and 225 mm > 8.2 inches

Recommend Diamondback Auburn Deluxe tires. They are molded in the original vintage profile and sizes, tubeless and radial construction. They can be had in whitewall or Blackwell. They are a quality product, smooth and round.
