Front tires for a Caretta

Post by Dennis Turk » Wed Jun 10, 2009 10:34 pm

Hi all

Does anyone have a source for 410 by 350 by 4 inch tires for the front of my 61 Caretta? These would be 2 1/2 inch wide I believe. I have found 3 1/2 inch wide tires but would like a narrower one. Also does anyone know what size of rear tires was delivered on the Caretta when new from the factory?

this is from the 1961 Caretta specifications; front 3.50x4, rear 3.50x5. Go Power magnesium wheels and two 4" Comet brakes with ribbed aluminum drum covers.
