Danny,I think that those are the tyres we installed on Chris's car. A very nice well constructed tyre.

 Subject: RE: [MarcosManiacs] wire wheel sizes
   
    Thanks Larry,  The car already has 13" 'Dunlop wire wheels, so no conversion is necessary.  But they are worn, and should be replaced.  I am concerned especially about front end clearance.   There was evidence that the old style tires even with the 13" wheels were banging into the back of the headlight buckets.  I've had the buckets modified to increase clearance.  What do you think of Vredstein tires - they have a 13".  Danny    From: MarcosManiacs@yahoogroups.com [mailto:MarcosManiacs@yahoogroups.com]

Subject: Re: [MarcosManiacs] wire wheel sizes    Danny,Because 13" tyres are almost unavailable, except from Taiwan or China, I would recommend a 14" wheel like the MINI LITE'S. There is a 13" from Holland, I beleive, that has a larger roll radius, however, the rear wheel arch has ti be cut out to the rear about 3/4" to give tyre clearance. I did this on a steel chassis 1970 Marcos awhile back, and it gave the car better road handling. They ran about 170.00 each including shipping.The conversion to wire requires spindle changes.

Subject: [MarcosManiacs] wire wheel sizes    I'm going to be getting new wheels for my wood hulled 1600 GT.  It currently has 13" Dunlops with bias ply tires on it from the time before I bought the car about 35 years ago.  Its nearing the end of a loooooooong restoration and I'd like to know people's opinion about whether to source new 13" wires or switch to 14" low profile.  Also does anyone have a suggestion for sourcing good wire wheels at a reasonable price including if necessary shipping to the west coast of Canada.  Thanks for any guidance.
