My new to me 69 GT has Dunlop SP 20 165SR 14 tires
on it now. I cannot find a date code anywhere in
these tires. Does Dunlop still make SP 20 tires
anymore? I'm pretty sure these tires are too
old. The sidewall has tiny cracks all over. They
are holding for now, but I can't help but think
how much better the ride would be with new tires,
any tires. What size should I be looking for?
Any suggestions for a tire that won't have me
eating peanut butter sandwiches for the next
month?
