Picked up the new tubes yesterday from my order off of Dobermann Tire. Very fast service and great to buy from.
Today I managed to get two tires fully installed on the rims with everything going smoothly. The third tire was being a bit harder to get the bead to pop on the rim. Checking after supper and it popped onto the rim. This leaves two more rims to go.

Finally all 5 tires are mounted back on the rims. All went rather easily considering how many posts are on here with people having trouble.

Deflate them and you'll find out if they popped in place or if they merely covered the edge of the rim. You should always deflate then re-inflate an inner tube type tire anyway to make sure the inner tube has not folded over on itself during installation.

They were inflated and deflated a number of times each. Most of the tires did a very “satisfying” (scary loud) pop when the bead went into place on the rim.

They must be "real" CMP 16" wheels, HUP have 6 studs to mount to the hub rather than 8.

Yep, got that, just painting a clear picture on the "fitting tires to 16" wheels" problems.

Yes the rims are General Motors Canada 1941 stamped. The tires are STA 900-16 tires. They fit just fine and were easy to install.

Not much to report lately. I’ve been busy working on some other stuff. But I did pick up my order for all new bearings for the driveline on the truck.
