General Tire was OE for passenger vehicles in the fifties. Not positive but I think they also made them for the trucks up to a certain weight. If anyone has a Salesmans data book for 55 it should tell the tire make.

I came up with US Royal Truck Tires made by US Rubber in 46 and 59. So most likely 55

There was no single make of tire used exclusively by any car manufacturer. Back then, OEMs bought from all of the big makers - Firestone, US Rubber, Goodrich, Goodyear and General. It MAY have been possible for a car buyer to specify the make of tires when ordering a car, but I am not sure about this. Most likely they would have been changed by the dealer if this was necessary to make a sale.
