After much down time, too much work, lack of motivation, ect, ect It is now time to purchase new tires for my 1951 "300" What size wide whites are appropriate for that year? Also pros and cons of Bias ply vs Radial. And Bias look Radials. Are radials safe to put on Packard wheels? I had heard some old cars have issues with radials. Ie breaking of the wheels.It will be quite an investment I can see. I am just not sure what way to go. Brian

Brian,

There are many threads on this subject, use the advanced search function at the bottom of this page to search for "tires" in the Post War Forum and it will throw many up. Here's one.

Mal's link works for me. Are you saying you clicked on the blue "one" at the end of the sentence and nothing appeared?

No, that was on my previous futile search. Clicking on the blue "one" got me to the thread he mentioned. sadly at the moment I am more confused than before. Got to sign off, getting late. Work in the morning. will give it a go again then. Thanks for the help. Brian

Brian, at the bottom of this page is a "button" that looks like this [ advanced search ]. Clicking into that will open up a new search box page where you can type in descriptors/words, limit to the particular forum you want to search, the author if known and other parameters. Go for it or use the link I set up above as [ advanced search ].

I have the same exact Packard and model 300. What do you need to know? The size of the whitewalls on it? As for the bias ply, they are notorius for not being able to balance them even when brand new. I just went thru that with my rat-rod that had brand new whitewall bias-ply and they were so far out of round they couldn't be balanced.

G'day Vic,
to PackardInfo.
I'd also like to be able to say for including your '51 300 in the Packard Owner's Registry but it didn't work and left this! Would you please be able to go back into the entry and complete it?

EDIT - See later posts and disabled link to deleted Registry entry.

Dude! I spent 2 hours typing the history out on my 300 and there is nothing there! Today I washed it up, the first time it's been washed in 10 years, and found a gem under all that dust. Here is a link to my car for sale on Craigslist. >>>http://sandiego.craigslist.org/esd/cto/5734171428.html

I wasn't going to retype 2 hours worth of work all over so I just answered the basic questions.
