Hello everyone. I'm helping a friend who has 4 of the tires pictured here. He thinks they are from a Model A but is not sure. The pic on the right is a close up of the specs which says "5.25 18 4 ply". They carry the Road King brand on them. Any help much appreciated.

A tire is simply a tire. Many cars used that size. The wheel is not a Model A. Could be a 32 Ford. What is the bolt circle size?

Thank you John. The diagonal of the bolt is 3/4". The distance between bolts is 5". Gabi

Early Fords have a 5 1/2 inch bolt circle. That is to say, a circle 5 1/2 inches in diameter will land on the center of each bolt hole., I think it is a 32 Ford wheel

If its a Ford rim it may be 1932 as they were 18".
Model A's were larger and 1933/4 Fords were 17".
The wheel nuts were exposed and the hubcap was much smaller on A's.
