Tires mounted on 1912 Runabout-Love it!!

Post by Jones in Aiken SC » Sat Jun 15, 2024 10:40 am

With the help of a good friend, got all four tires mounted on my 1912 Runabout. There is such a psychological boost to getting the wheels and tires done. I think she looks pretty sweet with her white shoes on.

That’s great !! Fun to have help with a daunting task. There’s just something soul-satisfying about a Brass T wearing white “smoothies”. I hope they give you good service and endless satisfaction !

I have been asked if I used flaps. Yes, I used flaps after conferring with several Model T old timers. I swore I would never use them again after wrestling old tires with flaps to get them off the rim on my other Model T, but I changed my mind after talking to the old timers. I guess, as they say, YMMV.
