Ohc Joe, i have a '37 fordor with riveted artillary stye wheels which had bias ply wwwalls whe i got it over 4 yrs ago. early last spring one innertube started to leak. i was aware the tires were nine years old,so i decided to go for modern radials.i did not want to spend 400.bucks per tire for the www from coker and the like. its not a show car nbut a very nice driver which i do drive almost every day for 45 min-1 hr. trips around locally. i sort of was concerned about going tubeless but i asked the local mom and pop tire shop thats been here in town for over 50 yrs. they said they would put that black sealant on every rivet i think there are eleven per wheel.the wheels have not leaked 1 lb. of air in the last year. blew my mind! some will say that the wheels up untill what late '60s early '70s didnt have that safety bead and the tires would walk off the rims especially in turns. i probably drive sensivly in corners and dont excede 50mph mostly 35- 45mph. rides ,handles, brakes better than those old bias plys.btw i got the new tires on amazon free shipping for $107.00 ea. and are black walls which some has said were born that way. i kinda like the rum runner look. your results may vary.ha ha.what shape are your wheels in? and are spoked correct?welded? size i bought-225/75R/16 these seemed to mmic closely to the 6.50/16 that came on car initially were 6.00/16 from factory. these radials are a little wider than the 6.50s.hope i could help. Tom.
