Guest jrustige Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Where can I find tires (30x3.5) for model 10 with original quick change rims? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Google Coker or Universal tire. Black best for driving, white looks great but doesn't wear well. There's a "driver" (less expensive) tire available for the 30 x 3.5 inch size, due to this being Model T size. Your rims should measure 23 inches for this tire (30 - (2x3.5)).Was demountable available from the factory on the Model 10, or was it after market?

Guest jrustige Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Thanks for your reply.Yes the wheel is 23 inch.However the wheels do not have demountable rims. like found om Model T's but have a detachable ring which is held in place by a round circular spring/bar.This seems original equipment.Standard clincer tires are said not to fit well.

JerryVan Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Are you saying that you need 30 x 3.5 straight side tires instead of clinchers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I believe yu do need clincher tires. I have clinchers on my 12 Buick model 34. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Schramm Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 My '17 & '18 still use clincher tires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Paulsen Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 That's interesting that 1912 and 1917-18 all used clinchers. My 1913 Model 30-actually all 1913 Buicks-used straight-side rims and tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Your comment that clinchers "do not fit well" should be interpreted as "do not fit easily". You must use relatively new (more pliable) tires and lots of lube to mount a clincher tire. Lube can be liquid soap, corn starch, etc. Tire irons should also be inspected for burrs that may puncture the tube during installation. And, inspect the mounting ring and corresponding slot for wear to be sure it will not pop out when adding air to the mounted tire. I always keep away from the mounting ring when adding air the first time...My 2 cents... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
