Peter P Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) I am looking for a set of tires for my 1925 Standard Six Duplex Coupe. It has the wooden spokes wheels. The intention is to buy new ones someday but for the build I prefer to have something that will hold air so at least I can roll it in and out of the garage as needed. I believe the size is 525 x 21 I can buy tubes and rim covers new if needed. Any suggestions would be helpful PeterCalgary Edited June 24, 2015 by Peter P (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Just curious 32x5.25 is a high pressure tire and a 5.25x21 is a balloon tire??? Same size but not necessarily interchangeable ??? seating shape of rim is different??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter P Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 The tires that were on the rims were the balloon type. I am not sure if I can use a high pressure tire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Thank you Peter P and dictator27. I was thinking back to 1949 and trying to remember information that my Grandfather told me about tires and the change from high pressure to balloon style.

Peter P Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 Can anyone tell me if I am able to use 7x20 bias ply tires with tubes? I have found some unused tires with tubes but they are not the 525 x 21 inch ones I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boojoe Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I have a 25 standard six speedster . I got model A tires I think 4:75 x 21 They work fine. I feel 5:25 might be bigger then you need. I got my tires from Coker for $ 99 each . I have 6 used tires but you are too far away .Would cost more then new tires to ship!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
