Wanted: Old tyres for restoration

Post by Gene » Mon Oct 29, 2012 9:26 pm

Evening All!

I'm looking for some old tyres for my P2 - I just need some 5.50 or 5.25 x 18 tyres for my Rover 12 while it's in the workshop for restoration. Does anyone have any I could use please?

I fitted one today, but it turned out to have a nasty bulge when I inflated it!

Thanks,
Simon

I might have a few, although I usually take old tyres to the tip. Let me know if you'd like me to check for 18" ones. Where about are you, I'm in Leeds.

Thanks very much for the replies - I'm sorted now thanks - I asked around suppliers and Blockley Tyres have supplied me with 4 worn tyres which are ideal for my needs. Well worth looking at Blockley if you're looking for high quality period tyres - I'd never heard of them before.
