I guess I’m anywhere between 1960 to 1980.
Disclaimer: I’m not saying others have to agree with me, so please think before you verbally attack me.
Most of my cars came with tires as shown for 1960.
The 1970 tire is an all-terrain tire not available before the '80’s and much larger than what cars used in the 1970’s. Might be suitable for Chris’s Honda.
The 1980 tire is a custom size, wider and a lower profile than the optional tire on the 1980 Corvette, P255/60R15. That tire does not represent tires used in 1980.
The last two tires are custom sizes or only used on high performance vehicles.
The OE sizes that fit my 2010 Accord EX are what it came with: 225-50R17, and the LX(base) size 215-60R16.
If my finances and time allowed, I would minus-size to the latter - on Accord LX OE rims of course, for the 2008-10 model years.
What about the over-sized off-road tires in the 1970 picture? You approved of the tires 1960 to 1980 tires.

Hmmm. I have a picture of my uncle driving the family dairy truck. Wooden spokes. No date. Figured it was in the 30s. Likely not a current year truck. No doors, winter time. Big guy. Probably carried two milk cans at a time.
I was going strictly by aspect ratios - or an approximation thereof in the provided chart.
What about the pre 1920 tires that were a light gray, color and from what I’ve read about, were quite unsafe due to the lack of carbon black, that wasn’t included until about the late 1910’s…
Anyway, a fun (probably AI generated) picture with inaccurate info on it to talk about, and it seems to be working… lol
