Where to get tires for 41 Connie?

I've routed around the net for tires and have come up with a couple of sources for tires (7.00 x 16's) for the 41 Connie. Where do you guys go for tires? I would like them drop shipped to a local tire shop for mounting and balancing. Do all the retailers do this?

OH, and I better ask the more important question: what width are the rims on the stock 41 Continental? It currently has Firestone 7.00 x 16's which need 4.5 to 5.5 inch wide rims according to Firestone. Are these the correct tires for this car?

Check out Coker.com, they have what you need.

That's where I was. Thanks for confirmation. I guess any 700 x 16 tube will work, right? Radial or not?

Best not to use tubes in radials if the rims are in decent shape. You might take a look at the Diamond Back tires at dbtires.com

In 2007 I bought new Coker radials for my 1941 Continental - They are THE BEST tires I have ever had;

They have the "vintage" look to them , as they have a much narrower profile than other radials.

The car looks stock , not street rod . (Although there is nothing wrong with THAT!)

The cost was some $250+ aPIECE , BUT WHAT A RIDE !!! i

DID NOT USE TUBES.
