Been running 16" modern Tubeless radials on 1935 16" rims on blue coupe for over three years now. Befor that the same tires and wheels were on my speedster - first installed in 2008. woe it has been ten years. Yes, I know it is time for new tires. The tread is stilll good but the sidewalls are beginning to crack.

The tires are Dunlop 215 70R 16. The new tires - sometime this spring -will be either Goodyear or Dunlop -same size.

Its IMPORTANT. Make sure there are no rough spots, barbs, scratchy thingees on the inside of the rim, expecially at the spoke weld joints. I took a die grinder and polished the inside of each of the four rims.
