T T Tire Sizes

Post by MbStew5755! » Thu Oct 21, 2021 8:36 pm

The front tires on my 1926 Model TT Truck are 5.25 X 21. I found some that are 4.50 X 21. Will those work on my TT? Thanks

To my knowledge TT front wheels are the same as the car, so a 21 inch rim would be a 4.40/4.50-21 tire. Yes, a wider tire can be installed on the rim if you can find them. I just put a set of USA made Firestones on my model T, they are big...wider and taller. They are marked 4.40/4.50-21, but they must be 4.75-21 or bigger, so if you are unable to find any 5.25-21 and still want the big tire look, Firestones is one option to consider.
