I am looking for some tires for my 1962 Falcon. Rear tires. 215- 65r x 15

Running this past the room of seasoned folks here:

Looking on eBay , I see brands of tires I have never heard of.

KEEP in mind, the 1962 Falcon is not a daily driver.  It will not be driving cross country.  Very good chance these tires will rot , before they wear out from use.  Kinda like trailer tires, if you own a trailer. They rot before they wear out.

I am not worried about a  road hazard warranty

I see brands:  Lizetti, OHTSU , WestLake, LionHart ...  along with usual Firestone , Goodyear, Yokohama.

Wide range of prices.

i bought some Nankang tires for the front.  I've used Nankang tires several times.  There are NanKang tires in 215-65r x 15 on eBay

I had to buy a Chensing(sp) Chinese tire for my motorcycle once.  I called it a wheel barrel tire as that brand was on mine.  I intended to replace the tire as soon as possible but it rode well and I watched it close as it aged.  It lasted longer than the name brand tires.  It was the only time I bought a motorcycle tire that was not a name brand.  I know that tires have wear ratings but I rarely decoded the information when I am buying.  I follow the rule of not buying the most expensive or the very cheapest but shooting for the upper middle price.

OHTSU and Yokohama have been around a long time. OHTSU made the tires on my Honda atv's in the early 80's. Yoko is a lower priced motorcycle tire that I run across. I think you will find new brand names all the time anymore. If they have a website, you maybe able to track who manufacturers' them.

All those brands you list are made by GUANGZHOU FENGLI TIRE & RUBBER CO. I can't comment on the quality.

OK,  thanks for comments.  I am still looking at tires for the rear.

Years ago, after I first had the Falcon running.  I had Comp T/A tires on it.  The tires flat spotted bad from sitting.  Even when I would move the car a couple feet to rotate the tires.  It flat spotted the tires on multiple locations.

I hate to spend the cash on Comp T/A tires again , since I dont drive the car often enough.
