Im brand new to this club and have just become an owner of a 1926 7 Passenger Model 433 survivor, i need to replace the tires on the vehicle and have not had any luck whatsoever in finding a replacement for her. the current tire size on the vehicle is 5.77" x 33" So far I haven't been able to find via the internet exactly this size, is there a cross reference for this that would help me in my search or a source i can go to for help

Kind Regards

Charlie

G'day Charlie26,
to PackardInfo but sorry I can't help with your request.

However I invite you to include your '26 7 Passenger 433, with or without new tyres, in the Packard Owner's Registry.

An existing tire actually has "5.77 x 33" on it, or is that something you measured?

O_D,

Looking at the Model Info see it lists tyre size as: 33 x 5.7 and, if this is how it works, think it means an overall diameter of 33" and a wheel size of 21.5", or is that 21" or 22" if it's rounded off? Not sure if I've got this bull by the horns or the tail, but I'm sure someone will put me right if I'm wrong.

There are not that many 1926 Packards being sold so I'm fairly confident this is the vehicle:

If this is the vehicle, I think you got a great deal. Congratulations!

Turnquist cites wheel size of 650 x 23" for 4th Series Six.

BDC, different cars; a 433 is a Six. An x43 is an Eight.

That is the actual reading on the tires themselves

No Sir, this is not te one i have acquired
