19" Tire Size

[31 RPU]

What is everyone's opinion on the best tire size for a Model A 19" tire?
4.75, 5.00, 5.50, etc. I guess if you have side mounts and use a large tire you would have to deflate to get it in the well and then inflate?
A larger tire would give you a smoother ride.
Getting ready to buy and wanted some input.
Thanks

4.75 500 looks just a little to large

Looks like there is:
475/500, 525/550, 600, 650, 700 and 750
475/500 looks a little too large?

I like the 550 for the smoother ride. Any wider and it looks funny and have to be concerned with the front turning radius and hitting the fenders.

Here is a picture of my newly installed 4.75/5.00 and the 5.25/5.50 that came off and moved to the spare. FWIW

Those don't look too big at all. I'd buy the larger size to help slow the engine speed at 45 MPH.
