Default Looking to buy new tires 21" WW

All I see for tire options on the 29 Roadster is Firestones and the BF Goodrich tires. want them to be whitewalls

are the Bf goodrich tires ok, or should we be going with the Firestones for nearly $200 each Ouch. Anyone have 6 they want to sell?

or leads for other options??

Thanks

I have Firestones on my huckster (except for spare). So far so good.

I put Goodyears on the 29 Roadster pickup and Firestones on the 29 Cabriolet. Very happy with both and see no difference !

I have 4 nearly new Firestone whitewalls....$100 each and I will include the tubes... I also have 3 or 4 fine painted 21" wheels with new hubcaps...$75 each..
I am redoing a restoration of a 1930 Tudor...and the fool restorer put 21" wheels and tires.... I told him I would try to sell the parts that I removed from his car..

Goodyears are better than Firestones.

blackwalls are MUCH better than whitewalls.
