Hello all
I need to replace my rear tire, it's a single rather than dual.
Larger than the 600 x 20 on the front.
Only info marked is Michelin Metalic B Y 20.
What is it and who has 'em?
Thanks in advance,
Gary

Check Coker Tire, they have many tires and the larger tire you are looking for.

Re: Large rear tire size?
For tire clearance reasons, you should not have larger than 600x20 on the front. You could put the front wheels/tires on the rear and then buy 600x20 tires for the front. The standard size tire for the front and rear is 600x20 for 1930/1931. The 1928/1929's used 30x5 front tires (500x20) and 32x6 rear tires (600x20).
Regards, Neil Wilson

Re: Large rear tire size?
Thank you for the response
So sounds like the current configuration of the rear tires is not original?
The truck has migrated to (what we call) our Hillbilly Truck.
Thinking I may try to locate this larger tire.
I measured the tires and rim - tire appears to be 36" tall by 8.5" wide
Rim is 20" x 5" (this is the internal dimension not including the bead flange).
Any thoughts of this tire size?
Again, thanks in advance,
Gary
