Default Tires For A '62

We are restoring a nice '62. It is time to buy some tires. This is going to be a driver. Is 205/75R/15 the correct size to be close to the original size? I see some folks here are running a Uniroyal Tiger Paw radial (which comes in that size). We want a thin whitewall. Any of you folks run such or there other ideas as regards good drivable tires for this vehicle. Price is a consideration. Thanks for any help.

The last set I bought for my 62's were Michelin B/W from Discount Tire. Really looked good with body color wheel and dogdish caps.
