Thanks to all those who answered my recent question about tires for stock
wheels. I didn't know that 175/70 and 185/70 tires could fit on rims that
narrow. Sumitomo is the only brand I've found that makes a summer-only
performance tire in 175, so now I'm looking around to see if they're sold
in Canada.
I'd like to say again that I'm enjoying the postings on this list! I
thought Leigh Brooks has a great website. It makes me think I should find
nicknames for my two beasts. A friend of mine once dubbed my '91 Buick
LeSabre the "C.C. Rider" (C.C. for "Cumfy Couch"), but I've never been
good at coming up with nicknames.
And finally to my question: The '69 1600 I bought recently with 35,000
miles is sitting on whitewall tires that say "Dunlop Dunsafe Tube Type
5.60S14 4 P.R." On the inside it says "Made in Japan". All 5 tires are
like this so I thought they might actually be the tires from the factory.
I didn't think so at first because I had thought that bias ply tires in
those days didn't last 35,000 miles. Does anyone know?
I thought I should check with the list and make sure because if they're
original I probably shouldn't throw them out.
