Re: [AMC-List] new member; new to AMC, have a '61 Rambler Wagon

[Ken Ames <ameskg@xxxxxxxxx>]

I see by the paint # it was originaly frost white. :)

According to the 61 American manual the 6x15 tires turned 804 revs per mile.
Your new tires should be similar. 175/80 or 185/75 or 195/70 are close.
