Oem Bridgestone Tyres

[Sean Dezart]

Bridgestone RD-102 “wide” 70 195/75/R14. 

 

Need to be in useable condition, new preferred by slightly worn also considered.

 

Many thanks,

Need to be in useable condition, 

 

WTF? You want to use 40yo tyres on a Z?!

Are you crazy?!

BUT THE ORIGINALITY BRO

[1600dave]

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 ??

These are for 'show' - NOT for driving upon.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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?
