Todd Puzey Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Been sorting out a few things on my 1925 dodge brothers sedan. The tires are in good enough shape for now, but I have 2 of them that go flat over a couple of days of sitting. I’ve been trying to source some new tubes for them but have had no luck in finding any. Anyone out there have a source for tubes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Gregush Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Wood or disk? What size? Did you check for leaky valve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Gregush Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 If they are 21" disk, would open a lot more sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Puzey Posted September 30, 2022 Author Share Posted September 30, 2022 They are wooden spoked rims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd Puzey Posted October 1, 2022 Author Share Posted October 1, 2022 What are balloons vs high pressure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearchoclatetown Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 (edited) Pay attention to the placement of the sizes of the tires. 1924 takes 32 X 4 is high pressure, 32 -4-4 is 24 inch rim, takes 55 or so PSI, hence high pressure. Your '25 would have what 21 or 20 inch tires, 5.50 X 21 is 5.5 inches wide and takes a 21 inch wheel at about 30 PSI, low pressure or balloons.

alsfarms Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I think 1925 was a change year as many makes were turning to ballon tires, likely to get a better ride. My 1925 Locomobile could have had 35X5 high pressure tires or 700-21 balloons. Were the Dodge 20" and 21" both offered on the same years?

nearchoclatetown Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Now you are making me think too much. I forget if 21 or 20 in 1925 and didn't want to walk to garage. I am sure it was only one size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearchoclatetown Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Ok, they are 5.50X20 on a '25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
