[Tigers] Tiger Spare Tire and Rim

Here is a link to a tire size conversion chart @ tire rack. I do not see the 5.90 size...but the 6.00 is there.

I was never able to find correct bias-ply Dunlop or Goodyear tires in Whitewall...at least not tires that were less than 40 years old. So I went with B.F. Goodrich 6.00x13 from Coker tire. Link below. I also attached photo of mine.

Universal has a Dunlop 520x13 and 640x13 Blackwall.

Hope it helps.

What I find for the MK II, silver is correct but Mk 1A's are different.

MK 1A owners or knowledgeable persons?

For what it's worth, my Mark 2 rims are grey on both sides, no evidence obvious of any black paint on the rear. As far as I know the wheels are original, untouched (the condition of the car when I bought it in 1976 was, at best, "rough," I doubt the rims were repainted.

  My trunk is finally complete except for the spare tire, wheel and lug nuts that would go with whatever wheel is used.  I still have some questions and here is what I have found so far.

  Dunlop 590 x 13” RS5  with a 1” white sidewall or
  Goodyear “Made in England 600 x 13” Roadway Speed with a 1” white sidewall

  Wheel – standard steel 4-1/2” x 13” rim
  Painted black – Is this gloss black or another black, semi, satin, flat?
  Then re-sprayed a gray-white on the front – what does this mean?  The entire front of the wheel/rim or just a portion?  Any rattle can paint can number anyone could provide?

  I would like to find a current tire replacement ‘size’, 165x80x13 as an example of what matches the 590x13” or 600x13” designation.  What does 590 or 600x13 translate to?

  Does anyone have a picture of what the wheel and tire should be from the front with the 1” white sidewall and this ‘gray-white on the front’ is suppose to look like that they would share?

  I have some LAT wheels with the markings on the inside of “SRC 1300, 5.5 X 1300, patent pending, ?celes cali?”    As measured from the inside of the lip, they are 5.5” wide.

  The steel wheel, chrome ring and cap that I have is 4.5” wide from the inside of the lip but has no markings on it that I can find, inside or outside.  Should there be? Please see attached picture and tell me if this is a correct Tiger MK 1A spare wheel or what this might have come off of?  I have had this wheel for so many years and no idea where I got it.

  Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.

  Regards
  Joel Martin
