Re: (ET) E-15 rear tires

[RJ Kanary <rjkanary consolidated net>]

    The early E-20 was shod with unique rear tires. Firestone® Town & Country snow treads with holes for studs.

       They had a wider footprint than the turf tires, plus a smaller diameter to make more tractive force possible. :)

 The oem tire was, I’m pretty sure, a Carlisle product.  They still in biz.

Hey all

Interesting things do happen.  My 1973 E-15 blew one rear tire yesterday.  Went dead flat in moments.  Part of my issue could be that the tire still has the Elec-Trak stamp on it - would not be surprised if it dates back to 1973 but I have owned it since the very early 1990's.

Any group thoughts on replacement 23x9.5x12 tires?  I can get a two-ply locally but am concerned if I should have a higher ply.

Thoughts appreciated.

Jim
