<VV> Best of Show

[Rt66Vairs at aol.com]

Since I retired I have had several projects to get finished prior to  
starting on MY project.
 
I have an extremely solid '61 Lakewood 700 that I intend to turn into a  
real nice daily driver.\\Of course the first thing that I ran into is the same 
 thing anyone with an early is faced with...  
 
TIRES
 
I'm looking for a good suggestion for 14" wheels that will work on the  
Lakewood and what size tires would be best. I need to do this right from the 
get  go so I can drive it and move it around. The current tires have had it 
and one  of them will not hold air for more than a few minutes. 
 
I would really like to stick with 13" so I can use the original wheel  
covers but I'm not going to pay $250 per tire. That's just crazy for a  driver.
 
So hit me with your best suggestions.
 
Hope everyone is having a great summer. It's been hot as hell here but  
that's San Berdoo for ya.
