A better question; does anyone sell 19" radials? Do they take a special tube?

Coker does. Quite pricey, tho.

Also if you have a side mount the spare(s) may become a problem. Obviously you have to buy 5 or 6. And yes they are pricey ! Wayne

I have 195 - 75 X16. Also 8 ply. Smaller diameter but I'm considering putting a 3.54 CW&P in to compensate.

Hello Richard
Sorry you are so puzzled about the tires.
Do you have any local club members to ask?
Will you be using these primarily for paved roads or unimproved roads.
Do you run at speeds in excess of 60 mph?
Are you running a hopped up engine with overdrive?
There is a fellow near you named Charles who may be able to assist you
Good luck

Yes but they might last longer. Do you think so?

Since I have to buy new tires for my 31 Tudor and I gave very nice 19" wheels I may buy the new 19" radials made for that wheel and tire size. Have heard positive comments about them.

Anybody have any experience with them?

I am very pleased with my 19" Coker Excelsior Stahl Sport Radial tires.
They ride, steer, and brake great, and the tread life is superior to bias ply.
