This is my first time posting to this phorum. I am restoring a 1911 Stanley Model 63. I have a set of new 25 inch clincher wheels that I need to buy tires for. I understand that I probably will not find the original 32 x 3.5 inch tires and will need to go with 33 x 4 inch tires or something similar. After looking at various vintage tire companies I see the 33 x 4 clincher tires are rare.
I would appreciate some suggestions on where to find the tires I need.

Hi,,,Don't fprget to check the metric sizes,,,,Be a bit careful on calculating the size /change,,I tried to find an oversize to fit,,and the formula didn't seem to work,,Yes I now it should,,,but it didn't,,,Just for kickers,,,I had a set of 4,,,one fit fine,,,other 3 were bloody hell to mount,,,I sold em,, GOOD LUCK,,,,,,,Ben

Hi.
Try giving Stan Lucas a call at Lucas Tires [www.lucasclassictires.com]
He is a steam buff and has several steam vehicles including a Doble or two!
My 1910 Model 60 has metric tires (not sure of the size at this moment) but the rims could have come from anything. I guess that's not very helpful. Good luck,....Dick Vennerbeck
