My friend's 30 Fordor needs new tires...the ones on her are circa 1970's.

This is a driving car, not a show car, and I'm helping locate tires. We need 19", at least 4 tires, and 4 new tubes, this much i know. I'm looking at a catalog showing Universal blackwall tires. But the amount of tire related items are dizzying.

Someone said we could make rim liners from the old tubes...yes, no, maybe ??

Can the metal stems and dust covers be re-used?

In a perfect world what can be re-used, what must be replaced, what can go either way??

Thanks for the assist.
