Re: European classic tyres
ronn, post a photo when you get one mounted. I’m glad they look good, because the price is very good!

Re: European classic tyres
ok, so I mounted 2 last night. first one nearly killed me. took an hour and was the toughest tire I ever mounted. the sidewalls are pretty thick.
2nd one I used dawn soap on the beads and had it on in 10 minutes. went to fill them up and first one I pinched the tube! so back at it today! |

I installed my American Classic Radials a couple of months ago and the car sure handles and rides better. Worth the price, so far.

because they look like a hot rod and I prefer the original "skinnys" dont care for 16s on my model As either, but I know half of the people on the barn do. |

Re: European classic tyres
A little off topic. But does anyone have experience with Pirelli Stella Biancas?
https://www.lucasclassictires.com/60...CA-60016PL.htm Bias ply tires with a "V" speed rating. For those who drive over 100 mph . Look period correct for 16" wheels. Cheaper than radials but still pricey. Only comment I could find mentioned stiff, harsh riding. |

Re: European classic tyres
Kewanee Green (lower) and Elkpoint Green (upper), Tacoma Cream wheels. I'm not sure if they are 100% accurate to original tho.

Re: European classic tyres
I'm looking for used 21 inch white walls. If any of you barners is going to buy new white walls, I would be happy to buy the old white walls from you. I accept any condition e.g. slightly cracked, no tread or just dirty. Try me ....

Re: European classic tyres
What is the overall diameter of the 4.50-19 tire? Most Model A tires are 4.75 /500-19.
