Vintage firestone tires

[hard_y_rd]

What's the widest 18 inch rear firestone tire available that will work in the TC bros. hardtail. I love the look of these. All i'm seeing is the 4.5 x18.
Where in Canada is a good place to get these at a half decent price?

The replica's that is. Come on, somebody must have some input on this.

I've been searching for tires, and I haven't seen any replicas or vintage style larger for the 18" rim. I've checked every major manufacturer and a few "minor" ones.

I can't comment on the cost or availability in Canada though.

Good luck.

Me too, cant find any 18" 'replicas' anywhere..But F**** if Im paying £140+ per tyre for Firestone...

Coker is the only reproducer of those tires. If they don't make it, it doesn't exist.

If the tires were wider they wouldn't be replicas.

I'm not looking for whitewalls or anything like that. Just the blackwall firestone.
Firestone Deluxe Champion 16 inch rear has a 5 inch tire
18 inch rear has a 4.5 inch tire

Same here......it's crazy.

Have you looked at the Dunlop K70? It's "retro" and $ 75.00 here.

Looks like a good deal. Not what i'm looking for though. I like the classic "sawtooth" pattern.

You can get em on Ebay for a mere 178 + 50 to ship to Canada for 1 tire.

Looked at Shinko?

Ya, I'm not seeing any in 18" though that I want. I could be wrong. Good looking tire/Good price.

Avon Safety Milage is a bit cheaper, comes in 18", and has your zig zags.
