    I am currently running 700x16 rear and 600x16 front tires on my traditional '32 Roadster. I would like to run a smaller front tire. I was looking at Firestone 450/475-16, 500/525-16 and 550-16, what do you guys recommend?

    450/475-16 it’s just a better looking combo as 550-16 looks good with 750-16 or 820-15

    I ran 700/16 and 450/16 Firestone's on a flat head powered highboy deuce roadster and thought they fit the personality of the car. Both my current highboy deuces Pu and roadster have 750/16 and 500/16 Excelsior radials. I like the look.

    Fenders or no? I think a 5.50 or smaller 16" tire looks better on the front of a 32. A 6.00 is to big for my tastes.

    No fenders, stock '32 axle with reversed main leaf, and '40 wheels.
