Wow, almost $900 ! that's like 3 sets of tires for my wife's car. Going to be a hard sell. Especially when one adds postage. I think I'm still looking around.
Mike,
According to my 1948 Dunlop Catalogue covering cars built between 1934 and 1947, the tyres on the A7 16" Export wheels were 4.75 x 16. Longstone Tyres here in the UK can supply a Firestone 450/475 x 16" at £168 + VAT
Spec is:
Type: Crossply
Rim Diameter: 16" (406mm)
Actual Width: 4.7" (121mm)
Overall Diameter Inflated: 26.18" (665mm)
Weight of Tyre: 5.8 kgs
