[AT] NAA tire

[Louis Spiegelberg]

Dave,

I don't know which one is the correct size. But you can get the front tire
on easily.

I coat the beads of the tire and rim with Murphy's Oil Soap. All I do is
soak a rag with Murphy's and then wipe it on the beads. I have tried using
soapy water, believe me, Murphy's makes a day and night difference. I can
usually get the first side of the tire on the rim without irons.  I then put
the tube in.  Then I take tire irons and work the second bead of the tire
onto the rim.  With a new tire and Murphy's, the tire should go on real
easy.

Lou

My NAA has 3 really good tires, and one really bad one, fortunately on the 
front.

Couple questions / confirmations:

The good new one is 6.00 16, the bad one is 5.00 16.
Both have the same (small) amount of clearance from the steering post.

Is it correct that those are old + new designations for the same size?

Does this sound like the right size for an NAA front?

TSC has them at a moderate price.

How hard is it to mount front tires w/o a tire machine?
Just a couple pry bars, or go get a tire shop to do it?

Thanks
Dave
