It's 30X3 1/2 or 30X3 on Model T's
Coker Tire in Tennessee or any of the vendors.

A 1917 T should have 30X3 1/2 all the way around

Roger it will be a 23 in TT rear tire, any 23 in TT truck tube will work 33 x 5 5x2=10 33-10=23in

Universal tire has tires and tubes for your TT. Note that their website does not always show everything they have in stock. You have to call and talk to a human sometimes, which I prefer anyway.

You should be aware that Ford Motor Company never produced a 1917 TT.

Only three TTs were produced in calendar year 1917. They were considered 1918 models.

Full blown production of TTs did not commence until sometime in calendar year 1918.

On a side note:

And as a further to the post by Erik, Ford started using the 23" demountable rims on the TT truck in 1919 model year along with the introduction of the demountable rims on cars. Before then the rears of the TT truck were solid rubber tires.
