A 30x10.5x15" fit fine under my '70.

I believe Bill uses a radial slick also, that keeps the sidewalls narrower. I had the Firestone/Phoenix 10.5/29.5 tire on a 10" rim and I needed to cut the lip out quite a bit to clear the sidewall. This tire actually measured more like 11X30.25. I also could not make sharp turns because with the body roll the tires would rub on the inner sidewall.
