16" Tyres?

Unread post by duncan »

Where can we find some proper 16" sidecar race tyres? A mate is building a JAP v-twin 1200 in a Manx style frame & can't find any square profile race tyres. Anyone got some ideas where to get some?

Ken Inwood aka Hersham Racing - unsure as to whether he still does.

Should be someone who knows about these things along shortly ;)

Is there any chance of someone bringing some over in the container that is coming over for the Island Classic in January. I can get my mate to pay before they leave & there would be many beers as thanks as well. :D

Sounds like a number that should be on the directory, if he's selling he won't mind it put on the site.
Mum? What's the number? We'll put it in the directory as Tony's busy with stuff 8-)
