Leif Holmberg Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I think you have to bay 6.00x22",I havn`t found any 5.00x22" on any tire shop in the world. Leif in Sweden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I run 33 X 4 1/2 Universal Tires on my 24 Master Six. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Holmberg Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) Mark,your 33 x 4 1/2" wheels are 24" ,he can not use that dimention,but if he could find 31 x 4 1/2" or 32 x 5"maybe he could use them.( if you can use 4 1/2" on your master model.)When I were looking for 22"tyres I could only find 6.00 x 22".

ROD W Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Ben I had a 25-25 thirty years ago and I couldn,t get 5.00x 22 tyres then, so I changed the wheels over to 21"and used 5.25x21"tyres. But a year ago I baught a 25-55x which normally has 6.00x22"but it has 5.00x22"Olympic,s on the front which I have to change over to the 6.00x22. These 5.00x22 have never been used, but he baught the car with them on more than 30 years ago and it sat in his garage never touched for that time. So where the prvious owner got these tyres from I don,t know.Its amazing your car still has the 5.00x22.Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buick Downunder Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 So it looks like 6.00 X 22" are the ones to replace. Rod - did you buy this size recently and if so, what brand / price etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROD W Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Ben I got mine from Antique Tyre Supplies. B.F. Goodrich 6.00x 22 $417 +GST tube $54Rust band $36I think he sold another brand which was a little bit cheaper Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buick Downunder Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 Well I did some more searching and it seems that BF Goodrich is the only brand available here. (These are 6.00 X 22 - as Rod described). I now have 4 new ones here for fitting, which I guess is the next phase of learning for me. (Off to find myself a rim splitter)Thanks everyone for your helpBen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
