Hot Rods IF I WANT TO RUN 18 INCH BIG AND LITTLE BIAS-PLY, WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS TODAY

Also, did Coker quit making the 700-18 pie crust?

 

I've run 7.00x18s for years. They're a bias road tire, not slicks. The only tire problem I've had was never finding a narrower front 14" tire that might match better.

 

I'm leaning toward 7.00-18 Lesters. I have Firestone Dirt Track 16" fronts.

 

I believe Coker still does the Firestone bias and their own brand

 

Coker sells the ribbed and dirt track Firestones in 18" as well.

 

Here is a 33 roadster here in France with 18 's w/700's on the rear and 16's w/600's in front. The car still has mechanical brakes so he could only lower the front by removing some spring leaves.

 

Ive used these in a 7.50 flavour in the past on an OT Hot Rod, performed as well as to be expected and seemed good quality.

That's funny. I think bigs and littles has been a rule of hot rodding since the beginning of hot rodding. Even factory hot rods nowadays have bigs and littles.

 

Tell that to the same size of the staggered size OT crowd as they have been around since the 60's

 

Anybody running a 400-18 up front?
