Tire size recommendations for a '60s Ross

[Capn Dan]

Okay, from the ID forum I've pretty much come to the conclusion that the bike I just got is an early '60s Ross. The tires that are on it, which were probably put on by the same bubba that painted it, are marked 26 x 1.75 / 47-559. Any recommendations as to the proper size to buy for these rims?

I would say, h that is the size that the bike came with originally.

I assumed you meant that 26 x 1.75 / 47-559 was probably the original size, and I was saying that I would use that size. Sorry if my response was confusing, and thanks again for the help.
