Oops
The new tires I ordered for my ‘29 Tudor were delivered today. I think I might have selected the wrong size.

Re: Oops
No I think they’ll work
Just be sure they don’t rub the fenders! |

Re: Oops
Are you going to mount them yourself? Could require a couple large tire irons.

Re: Oops
I think they are a little too small. Return them for the next larger size!

Re: Oops
Remove the fenders and good to go. You may need a spotter to turn L/R.

Be sure to soap up the bead and they'll slip right on!

Re: Oops
Finally got the tires on. The fronts rub “just a little.” It handles really well, but the speedometer reading seems to be off now. Suggestions?

Re: Oops
Speedometer/odometer likely will be out of calibration with these tires.

Re: Oops
But you only got four??? You should probably order a spare, just to be prudent...
