My New Preferred Whitewalls for C Bodies

I agree on the name “Nexen” looking more period-correct than “Hankook,” since I don’t remember the latter’s car tires being imported in the Seventies.

I think Ma Mopar puts Nexens on some new vehicles. (Based only on parking-lot observations.)
That color, Sir, should be GA4 -- see here, @73Coupe could chime in to confirm.

I’m not a big fan of charcoal gray; however, Fusies make it look really good.
 
I was sure I had posted my Nexen AH5 tire review, but I can't find it.
I would not hesitate to buy these tires again.
After some good long road trips and plenty of urban drives on the Nexen tires I have no complaints, very smooth, balanced well. Price was very reasonable.
Look correct, I was surprised at how narrow the tires looked compared to the coopers, but next to an original mounted L84/15 they were very close, the coopers tread looks wider, but the load rating is lighter on the coopers. 107 Coopers to 109 for the Nexen.

I've had the 235 Hankooks on my '66 Imperial since I bought the car. I've been pretty happy with them, overall. I will probably go with the Nexen tires when I get around to replacing my current set, whenever that time rolls around...so to speak!
