Agent3012 Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 Okay, I have a weird question to ask here: Anyone know of a motorcycle shop in northeast Ohio that handles tire mounting that would be able to mount the tires on hubs for a 1929 Fore Model A? The regular car shops don't want anything to do with the old car, so since the tall, thin tires with an innertube are closer to a motorcycle anyway, I figured I'd check on this side of the service fence.

Pauly Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 A few of us have tire changers. I mean... I don't, but if I did I would help you. But, I can't... so I won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they have tire changers in 1929? try a farmer or place that mounts tractor tires? Edited July 17, 2019 by motocat12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialEd Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) Since it was a million degrees here yesterday and humid AF, I went online and researched this ancient tire thing. I found several shops that do this around the U.S., but nothing advertised locally. You may end up having to ship tire and rim to get this done. BTW, you may encounter resistance if you don't buy the tire(s) from the mounting shop doing the job, and they're pretty pricey, i.e., several hundred bux each.

Tonik Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) These should be clincher tires. You can do them by hand. They are a glorified bicycle tire. Edited July 17, 2019 by Tonik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentracer Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 looks like a cruiser tire and rim to me lol. should be able to mount that thing at any motorcycle shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
