Tire size?

Good evening all,
I am going to be buying some tires for my 51 M38 soon, and I was wondering, does it take the same size as a MB/GPW or the larger M38A1 tire size?
Thanks for the help, it is appreciated!!

Chris, the Mb/GPW uses the 6:00 x 16 tire. For your M38A1, you need the 7:00 x 16 size. Two good sources are Coker Tire
http://www.coker.com/ and Wallace Wade
http://www.wallacewade.com/ The M38A1 came from the factory with Goodyear tires, but they are no longer available new.

Your 51 M38 also came from the Willys Factory with Goodyear 7.00-16's.
Thanks!

The NDCC or Cross Country is correct for your M38. NDT is the WWII tire and NDCC is the post WWII tire.

What exactly is the difference b/t the NDT and the NDCC?

Wes, correct me if I'm wrong, but the NDT tire has a more square sholder than the NDCC.

The tread design. The NDT has a more agressive and sharper edge. The NDCC is more roundish on the edges. The NDCC seems to handle hard surfaces better.

Coker sells the NDCC for only a couple dollars more than the NDT so I guess I'll go with the NDCC. Thanks everyone!!
