19” radial tire question
I have a 1931 Tudor that needs tires. I have been looking at the Excelsior 19” radials that Coker sells. Is anyone here running them, and if so, what advice do you have? I have no experience with radials on an A, but friends who run 16s sure like them. The tires I have now were on the car when I bought it. They are Universal drivers. I really have no complaints with them.
Thanks for your response. |

Re: 19” radial tire question
I have the 5.50 R tires and I think they are a better fit for the 19 in. wheels than the 5.00 R 19's. Close rolling distance as for my Firestone distance. Therefore The speed and odometer remain very accurate. I have found that 40# pressure works best for me on my 30 Fordor. I. have also found that no more than 1/16 inch toe-in helps with tire wear and the track or steering is not affected ( no wandering).

Re: 19” radial tire question
I agree with Steve & Carl.
I have 5.50's on my '30 coupe and they run great. |
