Re: Wards 30x3s
Who knows, but like about everything else around here they'll blame it on Covid. God forbid they quit making these tires cause then all we will own is a very expensive flower planter for the front yard.

Re: Wards 30x3s
Ah, the rare two-door phaeton. 
Perhaps some will have luck as I have with good old tires.
30 x 3 1/2 from 1964 and 21" from 1977. (Firestone) Still hold air and are driven on.

When did I do that?

Re: Wards 30x3s
Universal is out of 30 x 3.5 T Driver tires and rubber stem tubes, with no estimate on when they'll be available.
I called Smith and Jones and they had rubber stem tubes in stock, so I bought three, cut the stems off, and installed Schrader 777 metal stems.
For tires, I ended up buying two Firestone style tires from this seller on Ebay. They cost more than the Universals, but they had them in stock and shipped them express via Fedex.

Re: Wards 30x3s
Lucas website today no longer shows the Wards Riverside in the 3” size, only the 3 1/2” size

Re: Wards 30x3s
Macs told me about two weeks ago that their supplier (who I am sure supplies the others) is shipping tires by the end of this month. I sure hope so, as I have an order in since May.

Re: Wards 30x3s
If Blockleys last 20% longer, or more, they are the better deal. At least that was the math a year ago. The exchange rate changes daily, so I don't know how the numbers work out now.
The inevitable often happens.
