Anyone running 5.25 x 21 tires ?

Not me, but a good friend who's not online has them on his '29 Tudor and loves them. He has a 'built' motor and 3.55 gears and cruises easily at 60. I know, I've followed him in a modern car! But until he got the modified motor he couldn't climb hills around here. Plus, now, his speedo is about 10% slow because of the larger rolling circumference.

Thanks Tom !

It's getting to be time to "re-tire", and am pondering getting a little more rubber between me & the macadm , w/o sacrificing my 21-inch wheels. ;)

Cheers !

We have a member in our club wiyh those tires on a 29 Leatherback. Not so good. Not enough clearance and sometimes hit on sharp turns or bumps.
 
Apparently, until this year, Goodyear "diamond-treads" were only available in 16, 17, 18, and 19 " ?

I had a set of 6.50x16 Goodyear "All-Weather" diamond-treads on my '41 DeSoto; they looked great, but were a very noisy-running tire.
 
A man in our club is running 5.25 x 21" White Walls on his 29 Tudor; he says they give him a better ride than the 4.40-4.50 x 21" he previously had.

I personally think they look to big on a 28-29; you might consider the new Goodyear 21" tire ?
