According to the shop manual, the size was 5.50-16. My car no longer has the original tires. The tires I installed new in the 1970s are 6.00-16 which fit fine. They are bias ply tires with tubes (the originals had tubes). I did not record the brand of the originals, but the shop manual mentions Michelin twice. According to the internet, "cross ply" and "bias ply" is just different names for the same design.
