Re: Radial Tires 16 inch Kelsey Hayes
Because Kelsey's spokes go thru the rim, they must be sealed in order to run tubeless tires. A dab of silicone on each spoke, covered by a wrap of tape is all that is needed. I run 215-70-16R tires made for a Toyota RAV-4, a variety of sizes are available.

Re: Radial Tires 16 inch Kelsey Hayes
Why not just run rim liners and radial tubes with the Coker radials. That's what I did and they run just fine...

Take a clean wheel.... spray it with Flex Seal... no rust no spoke leaks!

Re: Radial Tires 16 inch Kelsey Hayes
Here’s a chart I found with dimensions https://racedunlop.com/docs/40sand50s.pdf then go here https://www.tacomaworld.com/tirecalc...0r16-195-75r16 and plug in a modern tire size to compare dimensions you’ll find the 195/80-r16 to be the closest let me know what you figure out. As I will be buying new tires soon also.

Re: Radial Tires 16 inch Kelsey Hayes
I run those 195/80-16 on my 28 Tudor. I wanted to get the tallest tire I could both for looks and gearing. They are a little shorter than the 21 inch wheels I had but not too bad a compromise. I think they feel a little stiff for a radial but I have noticed they roll really easily. I used radial tubes in them from Brattons.
