Topic: Tires for 1938 Fordor


Catfish Jones    -- 09-03-2023 @ 4:09 PM
  Good evening all
I’ve read several discussions on this forum about tires and my question may have already been answered but I missed it.
My tires are wide white wall Ford script 6.00-16 four ply. I plan to stay with bias ply tube tires.
Can anyone recommend a vendor and a brand?
Attached is a picture of my tires, I’ve never seen Ford brand tires.
Can anyone tell me how old these tires may be?

Thanks

  I went to Lucas Tire in Long Beach,CA.

https://lucasclassictires.com/?s=600-16&post_types=product&taxonomies=product_cat&tax_product_cat=23

The prices were cheaper than Coker (I suspect all of the vintage type tires of various brand names shown on their website are actually Coker tires, but can't prove it).

I heard that FORD SCRIPT tires came out in 1939,
but have been reproduced so you might have to look at the code numbers on the tires to see how old they are
my 2 cents regards, 37 Ragtopman Maine

  Thanks for the feedback Ragtopman. I haven’t been able to find any code numbers on these tires unless they are on the back. I haven’t looked there but I will.
