Default Bigger Tires
My 1969 has G70-15 bias ply tires, instead of the original F70-15. I like the fatter look and they seem to work fine, but then I never drive on bad roads or take high speed turns. Does anyone out there have experience with larger tires? Any problems?

As long as they don't rub, go for it.

I have G70-15's on the back and the F70-15 on the front. I haven't had any issues and don't really suspect you with either under normal driving conditions.
