The Model T got new tires and wire wheels, mounting tires with inner tubes

Thank you for posting this video. I will be following your example soon for my 1917 Maxwell 25.

It's very important to use talcum powder when installing an inner tube. We use Johnson's baby powder when we do aircraft wheels, since it;s readily available. You slather the inner tube with talc and also pour some into the tire and rub it all around the inside. The idea is that when you install the tube it will slide about easily and find its own position during installation and as you first begin to run on the tire. IT will also prevent the tube from getting a wrinkle or fold. The other thing it does is prevent the valve stem being torqued over if the tire goes soft and you run on it. Without the talc the inner tube will squirm inside the tire and will often cause the stem to split where it passes through the hole in the rim. That gives you a nasty and hard-to-fix puncture.
