Thread: Series 1 Tyres

any kind of style?

There are a lot of threads covering tyres.
Depends on whether you want them to look original or you're happy with radials.

If you use the search function you can find a lot of info.

series 1 tyres

You may have to hunt around on the net or find a good tyre supplier that will chase around for you.

Best of luck.

Hi Oowie,

The best supplier I have found is on your doorstep, or at least in Vic:

www.antiquetyres.com.au

Most of our little group run Firestone 600-16 NDT's. They are 8 ply from memory & seem to last quit well, respond well to airing down & are the original size. My 80" originally had 700-16 but these were very old & performance due to larger diameter was not as good, especially uphill.

Or you could get your local supplier to get in touch with this mob.

I must get round to phoning them.
I sent an enquiry by email and they ignored it. Their website has now changed so maybe they were upgrading ?

I called in. They're not into dealing with the public.
They're not into getting any 1200x20 bar treads either. "No market for it" they said.
They did have a few nice looking 750x16 bar treads sitting out the door when I was there.

I would encourage all the Inter owners to mount an email and phone campaign to annoy them into importing some 1200x20 bar treads.

I'm running 205/16's on the 88 at the present (which technically are too big for the wheels) but have some 650/16 Goodyear Xtra Grip to go on him when I get a round toit

I put Deestone bar treads on my 80" bought from the local Jac's tyre shop in Ballina, they were the only 600 x 16 available and whilst I haven't used them on the road due to an ongoing restoration, they look great on the truck. Looking froward to getting them on the raod!

Cheers Nick
