Source for early single-tube tires?


Recommended Posts

A friend in Oregon is bringing a 1906 Orient Buckboard back to life after 48 years for the town parade in late August. This is a very original car and the wheels have not been modernized with clincher or rims or the like. (My 1906 Orient was restored in the mid-'50s and has clinchers with old but very serviceable Non-Skid tires). The wooden felloe/rim has a gentle dish/valley in the centre and it appears the tires were forced over the edges and glued into the valley.

Can anyone suggest a source, or alternative, for early style single-tube tires — essentially a very thick inner tube with no outer casing?

Try Coker Tire. About ten years ago, a friend of mine purchased a set through Coker. At the time someone else was making the single tube tires, and selling them through Coker. (Word was, that Coker was also going to buy the molds.). Regards; Jerry Janson
