You mean I'm not the only one with a bias spare and
radial tires!  I too, have the original Continental 
spare for my '67 Sqbk.  I've used Bridgestone, 
Michelin, and the worst of the lot was Cooper.
I distinctly remember driving the Sqbk after getting
radials to replace the bias.  What a difference it 
made.  We tried to change to radials in our '64 Ford
CrewCab and it was dangerous!  Wandered all over the
road.  It's really tough to find 6.50 - 16" bias tires,
but I did. Those who haven't had bias tires won't 
recall the daily thump-thump of bias ply tires warming
up after taking a 'set' overnight.

I still have the original "Continental 600x15" in the spare tire well of my
'71 FB.
