Ford Model B

Ford Model B 1932–1934

The Model B Ford fitted 550-18 as original equipment in the early 1930s.
The best handling tyre in that crossply tyre size is the 5.50-18 PIRELLI STELLA BIANCA.
For the softest most comfortable ride Longstone's recommendation for the model B is the 5.50 x 18 Michelin D.R.
A set of 5.25/5.50 x 18 Lucas would also be a good option at a great price.
The ideal innertube for a tyre of this size is the Michelin 17/18E innertube, or the Michelin 18" C RET Central Valve innertube, depending on your wheel type.

History of the Ford Model B

Despite a superficial resemblance to the preceding Model A, the vehicle was all new. While the Model A's structure is basic, with two straight longitudinal members, the new car has a larger wheelbase and an outward curving, double-dropped chassis. The gasoline tank in both models is shifted from the cowl, as in the Model A and late Model T, where its back formed the dash, to the lower rear of the car, as is usual in current cars, necessitating Ford to incorporate an engine-driven fuel pump rather than rely on gravity supply. While the V8 was designed from the ground up, the Model B simply used an upgraded four-cylinder Model A engine with a displacement of 3.29 litres and a power output of 50 horsepower.
