Guest Lt Morty Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Has anyone tried tubeless, radials on old oe wheels for a 1941 Cadillac, or similar? I have found tubelss radials in 7.00x15, but would like to learn from others experience before buying.ThanksMorten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen_Dyneto Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Tubeless tires, both bias-ply and radials, are routinely installed on Packards as far back as 1938 with no problems that I'm aware of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrhd29nz Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I have had a good lesson on this over on a Hudson form ( not aaca) you need to match the tire to the rim width, not tire width, meaning if you get the metric equivalent of a 7.00 tubless tire, it will have the possibility to roll of the rim under harsh conditions. Get a tire to match your rim. I am doing this for my new 46 Hudson truck and it's on 6.50x16. I should hear back from my tire guy today, he is giving me three options. I will report what he recomends for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lt Morty Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Thanks for sharing Your experiences.If somebody else have done this, please share with rest of us. I guess this should be interesting for more people than me.On tire size:I have found a Yokohame tire that they say is 7.00x 15, so in my simple mind the tire should fit the rim? Or am I wrong? Maybe I misunderstood? I my mind all 7.00x15 tires are made for the same diameter rim size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
