Not entirely sure about the K.G., but in 1962 a Type 1 would have had a tire
5.60-15 wide, or close to the 145-15 metric size. This makes all the difference in the early Type 1's. Even the core common 155-15 can be a bit of a squeeze.J.

Just deflate the spare first! ;)
Seriously, you could still drive for a short distance on an underinflated spare, right? Or maybe keep a pump in the trunk too.

Is anyone selling a 155 anymore? the last time I saw a fully restored Ghia, they used a bald tire, probably underinflated in the spare slot. It's the fore runner of the air bag.

Look for the previous thread on Tires for links.
Here you can find a 145-15:
