6:00x16 or 700:15   optional 7:00x16.   

I like these:

Or could go with military:

Original Goodyear 6:00-16 tires identical to those the CJ2A came with from the factory are available thru www.kelseytire.com at $190 each.
 
The tire in the front of the picture is the current kelsey tire, the one behind it is an original NOS 1945 Goodyear. They are IDENTICAL.

Joe - nice - do you have a picture of the tread on those NDTs?
Schoolbuilder - the red Jeep went through enough POs that it's been messed with a bit. No "lift" but the springs are clearly wrong and it sits high. The green Jeep is in really good shape and is mostly original and fortunately has not born the wrath of careless POs.

Thanks guys for all your help! This is my jeep when it was new. I think those are the original tires. Do the goodyear tread look like that?
