Let me emphasize up front that I agree with the need for E rated
tires, however I am not yet sold on the need for steel sidewalls.
My 73 also came with D rated Generals, which I've always run at 55
to 60 psi with no problems.

I wanted to reconcile the two apparently contradictory statements above. I
had no problems with the Generals, but replaced them last year with E load
range Bridgestones on Alcoa rims.

Nope, not sure at all 'cause I can't even figure out whether this thing
has a 455 "engine" or "motor" or whether those round things I just put
on the hubs are "discs" or "rotors".
