Tires and wheels

[RobertB]

Well, in the interest of getting my car on the road reliably and quicker, I decided to stay with the 19's.

I ordered a set of tires from Summit, and now they are backordered. I went cheap in case I decide to change the wheels next year.

Oh well, at least the tubes are coming.

Just a thought. Croker tire now makes a radial tire that fits your model a rims ?

If performance and radial design, you can get Excelsior tires from Coker that fit 19" and 21" Model A wheels keeping the stock appearance and giving you the ride quality, the roadster pickup has those on it and we enjoy them.

I've been using Coker's 19-inch Excelsior Stahl Sport Radial tires on my Model A for 3 years. They are fantastic.

Brother Hesekiel writes: "I do like the idea of the 18-inch wheels (1932 only) though. What I like about it is (1) that it screams 1932, (2) that the hubcaps enclose the lug nuts, and (3) that the 5.50-18 tires size appears to give the best ratio between wheel width and tire width, purely from a cosmetic perspective. "

Precisely why I have a set of six on my late '31 Dlx Coupe. Also, the 18" tires fit nicely into the fenders of my side-mounted wheel-wells - without having to let the air out (as in 16" tires).
