[whizzernick]

Not sure what to buy. 15" wire wheels on a 34 victoria 4" drop axel.
wheels are 5.3/8 wide. I would like radial tires .

questions:

#1 can I run radials with tubes ?
#2 what is the smallest tire I can run (front )
#3 what would a good size for rear ( big and small )
this 34 has 289 ford - C4 - 8" full fenders
Thank you for any help

Radials are good - but you don't need tubes if it's regular (non spoke) wheel. If the wheel is welded spokes (to the rim), you don't need a tube either.



If the wheels are not welded spokes, then a liner and tubes are usually required. Get tubes that are made for radials.

Had 15" adjustable Kelsey's on my '35 Roadster back when. Sealed the spokes in the drop center with silicone. Ran tubless radials -no leaks.Pic of rear wheel
