Technical Diamondback auburn bias look

Here is a picture of one of the rear wide whites mounted on a reversed steel wheel for the PU. I had them made with a "beauty bar" around the white wall. My 8" wheels were a bit of a stretch but at the time these were the widest tires they made. These are 5.9" tread width, they now offer 8.25" tread width. I bought mine too soon.

Here is what they look like on the truck

And here is a picture of the black wall Auburn deluxe front tire on my roadster, these are mounted on 5" wheels and are their 560x15, the smallest tire they offered. I have a few thousand miles on them and some of that at a "jailable" rate of speed. Some of the finest tires I have ever ran.

 

Anyone running the Auburn tires on original 1940 Ford wheels? Do you need tubes?

 

I’m running a set of Auburns on 35 ford rims with no tubes and no issues.

 

I am. No tubes used.

That being said, if your wheels have pitting in the tire bead or fill valve area tubes may be needed.
