I have been running tubeless radial on my 47, 38, 52, and 54 for years with no problems. Been all over the country with the cars.

You have been using 600 or 650 R16 tubeless with no tubes, on stock 30's and 40's wheels?

I am using the stock wheels on my 50 with tubeless tires, no leaks. It probably would be safer to use later wheels with bead lock ridges so the tire would stay on the wheel if it went flat on the road...

Tubeless radial 6.50 on 1938 and 1947. 15 inch on 52 and 54. All run excellent.

Thanks Tom. Guess with the info on this subject, original wheels will work with tubeless. I thought that if the wheels weren't made for tubeless tires then you had to use tubes.

Thanks Allan.

I have 670.15 tubeless cross plies on my Jet. wonderful improvement. Tried radials, too harsh.

In city driving with lots of right angle intersections on narrow streets, I find steering with bias tires to be easier than with radials.

With "trucker's ruts", as mentioned, bias tires are likely to cause the car to have what I call "automatic lane change". However on Interstate highways, my experience is that either type of tire works fine.

Per

The '50 Stepdown manual lists two (2) tire sizes, but does anyone know if these tires share the SAME RIM size?
7.10-15 (Standard.) vs. 7.60-15 (Optional)
If your car has the standard 7.10-15 tire, can that same rim carry the 7.60-15?
Thanks,

Brian, The larger rim was technically for the convertibles. All other models were to have used the narrower rim.

Probably, I never tried, too expensive back when Hudsons were my daily transportation. I had overdrive on all of mine ,so didn't need the extra diameter.

I believe the 7.60s were intended for the wider rims which came on the convertibles, so probable not right for your car. We'll wait and see if anyone has tried this....
