1942 Tire size

Posted by Dale Rhinehart On 2013/6/10 21:56:12

I checked my tires on my New 1942 "160" and they look good but are 25+ years old. They are 7.00 X 16 Firestone 4 1/2 WW. I would like to replace them with 7.50 x 16 which would give me a little larger tire and a more "grander look". So any suggestion on if I can go the next size tire up to a 7.50 and any input on make, ie Luster, Firestone, BF Goodrich?
