black wall tires
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?

Re: black wall tires
I've had Universals on my '30 coupe for a few years and they seem fine.

Re: black wall tires
Look into European Classic Tires. See ad in Restorer Magazine. Bert's sells them.

Check with Speedway Motors. They sometimes have free shipping.

Re: black wall tires
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.

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

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

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

Re: black wall tires
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.

Re: black wall tires
[QUOTE=TerryO;2246357]Coker's radials... no comparison in the ride and handling...no more bias tires for me...
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...... |
