Tires for '49 F-1
What is the recommended tire for the '49 F-1 pickup? I currently have 215/85 R Michelins on it. Not sure the 'tire guy' knew what was best. Rather he put on what he could get to fit the rim. Used a tube, as well. Thanx, All.

You might be better off posting this in the 48-56 forum. This one is specializes in 2009 and newer trucks. Perhaps one of the moderators can move it there for you.

Thanx, Men. Just getting started using this Forum stuff. I'm better golf or skinning knuckles than computers!

You'll be okay with that. I run 215/85/16's LT tubeless tires on my original 16 inch rims.
