Classic/Antique Car Repair: Radial tires on a Model A
QuestionHello Jack, which tires do you recommend and what do you think of radial tires for a Model A. Many thanks. Greetings from Germany. Gernot
AnswerI just had big trouble with the low cost tires I got from Universal. They were from Vietnam and the side walls were so weak I had a severe YAW problem in my heavy townsedan. They may have been OK on a lighter car.
I ordered a set of Firestones from Universal, and that fixed it. Just get a good set of Firestones and be done with it. You will only get about 10-12,000 miles on them anyway.
I don't know anything about radials. I would not pay a high price just to get them. jack
