1600dave Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 (edited) I threw some out a year or two back when I was cleaning out my parent's place. They were hard as concrete and full of cracks, can't imagine any of these old things would be good for anything other than display now ?? Also, if memory serves me correctly, they were a 70 profile tyre, not 75 ?? Edited December 13, 2016 by 1600dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndBir Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 PM the guys on the thread linked below that indicated they had spare tyres of this kind. Yes, I know it is 5 years ago but you never know. http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/6864-original-factory-tyre/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators gav240z Posted December 13, 2016 Administrators Share Posted December 13, 2016 There is a company offering reproduction of original tyres. Very expensive but if you want original... I'll see if I can find the link. http://www.restore-an-old-car.com/classic-car-tires.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dat2kman Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I remeber buying those,for my first 1600 The improvement over the standard factory cross plys was amazing. Then i bought some Yokohama A008R,,,,,,, thats when I discovered real road/track grip! gav240z 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndBir Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 (edited) Just resurrecting this thread as the guy is still looking for these tyres. I have recently sourced two for him that were in very good condition but he still needs a few more. So check your spare or maybe that old tyre in the garage.........thanks.

240ZR Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 I don't know how true this is, but was told by a tire guy that you can get hard/old tires heat cycled & they become nice & soft again. Can anyone confirm this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
