for what its worth, I put Coker tires on my 39 120 and had one flat after another. The problem was that the inner tube was being chaffed by some rust spots around the valve stem hole. Once my tire shop figured this out, I sanded down the inside of the wheel, put some spot filler in the low spots and painted the inside of the wheels. That solved the problem. Apparently the old tires were truck tires and were very stiff sided, and didn't wiggle around like the newer tires did. Something to look for when you install the new tires.
