Title: Cant get tyres
Post by: itb on February 27, 2008, 08:08:10 PM
I've tried to get 185 x 75 x 13 tyres for my FC as most of our club members have. They are not made any more. What are people using for stock vehicles?

6.40 x 13 - 4 ply. Still readily available, and around $70 a corner.

And with the old pastry wheels, corner is the operative word ;D

Hello,

    Try antique tyres at Ingleburn NSW  his no:96182788  he imports tyres of all sizes including 640x13's if out of stock he can normally recommend an available size radial to suit.

                      Hope this helps,
                                Frank

Here's one more, ITB:  I've got 185x13s on Jim - Sava brand (NZ, I think).  Got them from Beaurepaires about 3 years ago.  Try them
