Default 17" tyres

The 1939 - 40 1 Ton Ford with 122" wheelbase , sported those chevron directional bar treads in 17" . Normally they were 700.17's . The 1 Ton Chev of that time with 123" w.b. also had 17" wheels . I know as there is a 1939 1 Ton Chev sitting here in my place with original 17" wheels on it .

Olympic made them here .. those pictured look like Olympics to me . The rims pictured seem to be too wide for the tyres as they are bulging to a degree .. doesn't look very safe !
