Model T Ford Forum: Forum 2017: Question about tire size

Bought a '26 Speedster a while back that had some HUGE 6.00x21" tires on the rear. Took them off since they didn't look right. I'm I correct that they do not fit TT truck? Information I have says the TT used 20" tires on the rear. If that is correct, what car/truck do they fit? Other brands??
Thanks for your input. Mike in Texas

Hi Mike,

You are correct, not for a TT as they had 23" rims for 1924 and older and 20" rims for 1925 and newer.

As to what other vehicles they could fit? Well, anything with 21" rims, of course, and that could be any number of makes and models.

Golly, those tires must have looked SO wrong on that speedster and yet the larger circumference might have increased top speed a tad.

"Made in the USA" I wonder how old those tires are--sure don't look "old" though.

That is the size a Bentley 4 1/2 uses. Must have been done to increase gear ratio/top speed of the speedster.
