Going to install new tires on my 67. I have cragars so the clearance is not that great, I have 205-75-15's on it now, and like the look of the 75 s as it fills the wheel well. There are not many Brands to chose from now, the Michelins I have on it are now no long made so that brand is out. People have mentioned a Kumho Solus TA11 ( which I have never heard of ) and the Uniroyal Tiger Paw awpii....any suggestions ? advise...etc Thanks..

Go to tirerack.com and see what's available in the size you desire. There should be lots to choose from.
Mickey Thompson S/Ts are excellent street tires (made by Cooper but considered slightly higher performance design than their similar Cobra line) and available in a full line of 15 inch sizes. However they have white letter sidewalls so they have to be reversed if you want blackwalls.
I was running Tiger Paw AWPs on the '65 Coupe before putting Gold Lines on. 205/75R15
The driveability and tracking was excellent, maybe a bit better than the Toyo based gold lines, which so far are just a bit "skitterish" compared to the Tiger Paws. By that I mean there seems to be more steering corrections needed with the Toyos. Initial impression based on the first test drive.

Try HanKook tires. GM uses them on some of their Chevy, Buick and Cadillac cars.
Be careful with the 75's. I had them on my 65. Initially I had to slightly grind the edge of the lower valance. No big deal. They ran fine for a couple of years. Then I made a hard left turn going into my driveway. The tire hit my fender lip and cracked it. I now run 215/70's from DB. No problems with fender rub.

Uniroyal Tiger Paw have nice white wall tires as mentioned in the P207/75 R15 size. Coker Tires also come in this size, but are expensive. Cooper Tires come in this size, but only get a fair-poor customer rating. I think Good Year Tires comes in this size.

Uniroyal Tiger Paw 205 75 R15
Handle well, no clearance issues and not expensive at all.
I mounted these whitewall tires with the blackwall out.
Any decent tire store will have them or get them for you quickly or buy them online.
Uniroyal Tiger Paw AWP-II; an OEM supplier and will get you a few judging points. Wear well, nice ride, great handling, appealing tread pattern and the white-walls aren't too far off the original look. Prob 1/2 the price of the Japanese rubber.
I doubt my 63 will ever wear anything else...
