black wall tires

[oldspert]

I need to buy new tires for my 29 Special Coupe and do not want whitewall. Looking at different suppliers and there are not many to choose from. Coker and Lucas seem to be the ones that advertise in Hemmings. Any others that have quality tires?

ALL DEPENDS WHAT YOU CALL QUALITY TIRES............


price generally dictates quality.

I've had Universals on my '30 coupe for a few years and they seem fine.

Look into European Classic Tires. See ad in Restorer Magazine. Bert's sells them.

I just purchased from Lucas a few weeks ago. And I am very happy with the purchase.

Coker's radials... no comparison in the ride and handling...no more bias tires for me...

Summitt Racing as well. Mama got me 5 American Classic Radials for Christmas, free shipping.

Is there such a thing as radial tires that appear to be Goodyear or Firestone? Basically, I'm thinking of the exact exterior of an original tire Ford used that is actually in a radial configuration.

Nice looking car.

I have used Firestones and have been very happy with them.

Enjoy.

Running universals on my Victoria. For the price of $150 a piece, they are nice tires.

 

[Bob Bidonde]

I have been running Universal tires with good results for many many years. Firestone tires will not fit into Model "A" fender wells.

Snyders also sell tires, I was there a few weeks ago and their were a number of sets awaiting pickup. Check with them to see what they have in stock.Prices on tires seems to go up every time I look at them .

I got the Firestone from Coker with free shipping. They offer free shipping from time to time.

I have had Firestones for 22 years. They fit just fine into the side mount wheel well. I'm going with Goodyears in 2024. Gonna try the diamond treads.

Are the original rims compatible with radials? What does Coker say about using them on original rims? I had heard that the rims were stiffened over the rims used on the old nylon/rayon bias ply tires of the 1960s when radials first come out on new cars......
