There has been alot of discussion concerning tyres for the old series ones, they are available in Australia through a company called Australian Tyre Traders:

** Australian Tyre Traders ** 1300 761 802 **

I just purchased 700 x 16 lug tyres for the Fire Tender - with tubes for less than $120 each (fitted and ballanced)

---

They are now fitted to the series one Fire Tender - SUMO TS888 - 700 x 16 tyres (see attached picture), my inital impressions they ride well and look the part.

All the best

So you're saying John that the Michelin Synchrones I have on Leon are possibly not vintage enough:o:p

Wayne, these are similar tread pattern to the old Bridgestone Jeep Service and Goodyear Custom Extra Grip Hi Miler. Should work well on the Fire Engine.

I remember having Winter tread (can't remember brand) tyres on the old Kombi and they were a similar pattern also.

Hi there Numpty

They are not the tyres I originally ordered - but I am very happy with them, also since putting them on I a couple of friends are also ordering some for there vehicles.

They do have a very harsh tread pattern - and it not as if you have to worry about road noise as you are driving a Land Rover.

All the best

Wayne,

These look similar to what I have on olmate. You should be happy with themas they do look the bit.

You have got me thinking about the ute now :D

I recently ordered 4 Dunlop RTM's in 7.00 x 16. Price was $165 each fitted, balanced and with new tube.
Got a price from Beaurepairs of $220 each fitted then found a company in Frankston that are obviously more interested in my business.

Dunlop are currently out-of-stock but 100 arrive late February, a number were already backordered (maybe other LR's heading for Cooma ?)

I have an Roadtrack Major on the S1 with excellent tread that will be used as a spare. This is 6-ply but the current RTM's are 8-ply. They are a crossply tyre which is in keeping with what was originally fitted but maybe you can take originality too far sometimes.........
