tires
I have a 1930 model A pick up with 650x16 rims and tires. I have a chance to pick up a set of 600x16 tires for a good price. Is there any real difference in the size?

Re: tires
750-16 are about as tall as 19-475/500 smaller the first number the shorter the tire.

Re: tires
6.50 vs 6.00 = 1/2 inch. They'll work just fine.

Re: tires
How old are the tires? If they're old stock they may wear out in a hurry.

Purdy is correct, I personally like the look. I suspect a lot of people do not like the look. The Tires I chose from Coker ended up being close to the same circumference as the original factory wheels/tires, so speedometer is accurate. There are places you can send your speedometer to that can gear it as needed for accuracy. Last edited by 30 Closed Cab PU; 02-09-2019 at 12:50 PM. Reason: typo |

Re: tires
I have a hunch that your rims were designed for a 600-16 and someone put oversize tires on. Are your rims 1935 Ford or maybe Kelsey's? Be sure to check the date code on the tires, old tires are dangerous if you intend to drive fast. Remember you can let some air out of the tire and it will fit in the tire well, carry a pump to inflate it if you need to use it. It would be good to add your email and general location to your profile, you can never tell when it will pay off.

The overall size varies wildly between brands in imperial sizes. Not so much in metric. Looks like about 1/2 inch difference in a Firestone. |
