AMT 1/25 Model T Tires

As I am working on some disc wheels for Model T's and want to cast them to fit someone here was kind enough to send me a tire from one of the kits. I also purchased the 1927 Model T Ford kit. What I found is there are at least two different size tires. In the pics below the 1927 T tire is on the left it is a bit harder vinyl than the other and has a ribbed tread as opposed to the tread pattern. It is also a slightly larger diameter but, interestingly enough, uses a slightly smaller wheel. The wheel from the 1927 T kit is just too loose for the other tire. I think (?) that a slightly larger wheel diameter will fit both as the tires stretch slightly but I will see

I'd say the one on the left, the larger tire, looks closer to the Firestones that came on the T when new.

I like the one on the left better it is a little sturdier

The ones on the right look like AMT '25 T and fit on the wood-spoked wheels from that kit. The ones on the left appear to be AMT '27 Touring tires with wire wheels.

Yup you are correct on the left and I assume on the other as well

The ones on the left were also used in the stock '29 A roadster kit, and also for the wheel on the rear bumper-mounted test device in the '65 Grand Prix.
