Default Re: Radial tires on 21" wheels?

Yes, you can run those tires on the 21 inch wheels. I have a set on my sedan and have been very happy with them and the last Model A club event I drove to the tires got a lot of attention and questions from other club members about my satisfaction. I was very unhappy with the wear on the previous set of Firestones I bought so decided to make the switch. With nearly 7000 miles on the tires now, I can offer the following: The wear and stability are a major improvement from the Firestones. With the Mitchell overdrive, we can really get going in these old cars so, greater stability is certainly something that should be improved upon if available. These tires are Mud + Snow rated. I was not happy with the long valve stems on the radial tubes but understand that you can get Coker to install shorter metal valve stems now, if desired. I expect to get 70K miles if not more on these tires, we'll see.......
