There is a time to visit a local bike shop and NOT buy tires on line. This is one of those times.
Never assume older bikes have original parts. I had one old. JC Higgins cruiser, wheels were two different sizes (both looked original, both looked to be the same size.). As I recall, one was 590, the other 597. Both were 26- 1 3/8 sized..... I ass-u-me'd they were both 590s. Wrong! Someone had swapped in a Schwinn 597 wheel.
