600-16 Tires for my 35 Coupe
 

Guys,

Finally ready for tires. Any comments on what tires may be better than others? I want to run original size 600-16. Coker, Firestone, BF Goodrich all carry the 3-3.5" white wall width.

Thank you,
Peder

got Firestone from coker, 600 on the front and 650 on the rear, they are round and balanced!

On my 39 I have the 6.00-16" 3" WW Coker classics. Coker was great to deal with and made sure what i wanted worked for my year and model:D

It's all in preference...I went with BF Goodrich Silvertown Coker Bias 650-16. Fast shipping. Nice tires Ken

Coker is all right in my book. My 36' got the 7.00 - 6.50 firestone treatment. I guess living close to Daytona beaches and the ground clearance was to hard to resist. :)

If originality is your objective, the only 6.00-16 tire currently offered with the original 1935 tread pattern is the Goodyear.

David,

Do you mean Goodrich or Goodyear?

Also, I noticed that many guys are running 650 - 700 which has a greater diameter. That must mess with the speedometer, correct?

That is true. Tires can be easily changed back to an original size. A lot easier then lets say a chopped top.

The GOODYEAR, not Goodrich has the correct tread look and is the correct diameter around the outside of the tire. Most of the others are made in molds from the 50's for replacement tires and are smaller than original. JMO

Have Dunlap 600X16 radials on my "A", Used radials on my 47PU much better handling.

I would like to know if there are any sales going on. Maybe buy3 and get the fourth one free.

I used Lester's tires and found them to be excellent. http://forums.aaca.org/f128/lester-tires-231264.html

I vote radials. Have them on my '35's using stock wires with tubes. Big improvement in handling for me. One set from Coker (600x16 FS WWW) and one set from Diamondback (550x16 & 750x16 BW). I don't believe I would ever go back to bias ply tires again.

Re: 600-16 Tires for my 35 Coupe
 

Another vote for radials, got mine from Coker, 550s up front and 650 in the rear. Can't believe how the car drives and handles. I used to have Firestone ww, great looking tire but felt like rocks.
