I fitted these 5.50 x 17 Firestone made in New Zealand Tyres to my 1934 Ford back in the Seventies.
They are still on the car and show no sign of deteriation and provide a smooth ride.
Just for the record, when mounting the Spare Wheel, make sure that the Valve is at the top so that the Drain Hole is at the bottom, as can be seen in this photo.
