I'm pretty sure everyone will agree, they were either Goodyear or Firestone (I haven't seen a '66 or '67 Mopar with Firestones & your car probably used the tires from the '66 model year). Here's the '66 Valiant page (from Hamtramck-Historical) looks like all 6.95-14 & as far as reproductions go - Kelsey Tire makes a Goodyear 6.95-14 "Blue Streak" (at $360 each ) Coker Tire makes a Firestone E70-14 "red stripe" (at $193 each) "if" this is your car - looks like "blackwall" - I can almost make out the tread pattern - I don't see "Barracuda" wheel covers

Quote= what cover"should " have come with the wider wheels?
I don't think the wheel cover installed would be related to the wheel width. There were different covers available as options so the car would get whatever was ordered. The parts book does have a guide for wheel size / tire size.
You might be able to find out for sure by ordering the build record from the Chrysler museum. http://wpchryslermuseum.org/newsroom.do?id=390&mid=135
Just my
I would be interested in knowing if you find out for sure.

Tires on the IBM card are "28" = D70-14 "red stripe" NYLON cord tires. ..... so, the closest available are the Coker reproduced D70-14 "red stripe" Firestone WIDE OVAL SUP-R-BELT fiberglass belted. Originals, if Firestone, would've been WIDE OVAL DELUXE CHAMPION. Red stripe tires would look great with the red interior!!
