The Ford Barn

Hey guys, I am about ready to purchase tires for '41 Mercury Business coupe and need a favor. Would you guys mind posting pictures of your Fat Fender Fords with the tire sizes that you chose to use? My tires will be mounted on 15" x 6" Steelies & I have the stock suspension. My concern is the front tires rubbing in the turns. Also, I would prefer to go with radial tires.

Welcome to the barn. A couple of things. Guys on this site will probably suggest 600-16 all around since the site is oriented towards people with restored or original cars. Also you posted in the "To The Editors" forum which is seldom read. Finally you would probably have better results on HAMB. Here is a direct link to their forum page: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/...ssage-board.5/
