Re: 21" Radial ply tyres

Thanks, M2M. I also think Coker are just covering their backsides however, I think if I go with radials, I will use the 19". Even allowing freight from the US for a set of 19" rims, a wheel will work...

Re: 21" Radial ply tyres

I've found Lucas to be very much inclined to wander. No wonder when you look at the width and height of them. Of the Bias ply tyres I have used, I think Firestones are the best. That said, I have...

Re: 21" Radial ply tyres

Barklydave, I'm not into drifting my Model A but even with cross ply tyres, I have pulled spokes off the rim and split the centres due to strong and consistent crosswinds over a coupe of weeks...

Re: 21" Radial ply tyres

www.cokertire.com/tires/styles/radial-tires.html#tire_rim_diameter=121 is where I got the price. There is only one size made for 21" wheels and Coker says they don't make a tyre for the Model A rim...

Re: 21" Radial ply tyres

The aspect ratio is the ratio between the tread width and the height of the walls. Eg, a 205-60 X (say) 16 tyre has a read width of 205 mm and a wall height of 205x60%= 123mm. 16" is 406mm so the...

21" Radial ply tyres

There has been discussion here now and then about radial ply tyres but nearly always 19". The general consensus seems to be that they improve the ride and road holding no end and I don't doubt it....
