Hi guys, I'm new to the site. My Early Ford is a '35 Tudor fairly stock except tires & engine. Figured out some modern sizes to utilize modern radial tech tires. The rears are (215-85-16) the fronts 195-75-16's. Saved money, look great & ride great. I think they look great and feel great. Engine's a '49 8BA Perfed up with some bling so I'm running without hood. Considering juice brakes with discs on front. I have other fun Rides but not Early Fords.

Welcome, Tbone,Originally posted by Tbone View Post
I do mostly stock Model A stuff, but am an OOOLD addicted Hot Rodder, have owned ALL kinds of old Fords in the past.
Had a '35 5 Window, a "sleeper" with a 1/4 X 5/16" Flathead. The '35 is sorta' a transition in styling, the last of the sorta' FLAT grilles.

pAAt,
1/4 X 5/16" means 3 5/16" bore & a 4" stroke. I could bore you to DEATH, talkin' Flathead V-8 stuff--LOL

My 36 also has an 8BA engine, but I still have bias tires. Maybe when they are worn out I might try radial, but the bias whitewalls look good.You do not have permission to view this gallery.

Be cautious about tires if you want to be authentic. I have a 1933, and reserached the tires, I think they are similiar to 1935 but are not sure. The tires for 1933, 34 were quit thin by todays standards..I think 35's also had thin tires. Kinda like motocycle tires. Believe it or not these thin tires make steering easy considering we mhad not power steering.Originally posted by Tbone View PostComment

Hi all, been a while, been thru some nasty stuff. Two neck surgeries a couple years apart. But Thanking God I’m back playing w the toys!
I noticed a few comments on the modern radials I put on my ‘35 so thought it might be helpful as time passed to report no issues & still a great ride, handling & working fine after 4 years! They are tubeless & still holding air 4 years later on the stock wire wheels 😊!Comment
