4,50/4.75 x 16 or 5.00/5.25 x 16 and Halibrands etc.

Hello everyone.

I'm not sure if this has come up before, but can anyone tell me the specifications of the wheels and tyres on this 32?

Also any magazine article that may tell a bit more about this particular 32?

I prefer the higher load rating of the 5.00/5.25 compared to the 4.50/4.75, but do the 5.00/5.25 look much larger when mounted?

Any advice is appreciated.

I'm not sure where this photo originates from (as in, its not my photo).

Thanks and have a nice day.

 

The 4.50/4.75's have the same tread design and pie-cut side walls as the larger Firestones.. I'm not sure the 5.00/5.25's have the same design...

 

Hello s**** metal 48.

Thanks for the info.

I've found the owner's name of that red 32 in the photo - Tom Malloy (supposedly) but still not been able to find any technical specs.

 

Found the details I need, tyres are Firestone 7.50 x 18 and 5.50 x 16 (Thanks to Ray at Vintage engineering) - also the wheels, 18x7 and 16x6. Just goes to show that you can never ask too many questions to knowledgeable people. Thanks
