For those of you who remember Ian titley, this is the car he sold to the current owner a few years ago.

[ChrisS]

That is Ian Titley's old car. A very mint car though have not seen it since Ian owned it ...which must of been 4 - 5 years ago :o

"original goodyear tyres"

However I would urge anyone thinking of buying this for 'everyday' use to consider replacing these 25 year old tyres. My 8 year old ones are past their best now even though they still have the little manufacturing 'bobbles' on them and 95% of the origional tread.

[Chris Hawes]

Mike, when you say 'past their best' do you mean they are cracking?

[bozzzydmc]

Yes lines between the tread and all around their circumference, checked them last weekend and thought "ummm not good "

I had an interesting visit to my local tyre emporium , they had 8 different makes in for the front ones ( not remoulds ) , what a hell of a difference in actual looks and manufactures 'waffle' on these, some felt as soft as cheese and others like rock. All were around the £ 45 - 55 mark.

Mint car indeed, I went for a ride in that for my 16th Birthday (was in the DOC mag with the gold car poster in the middle think). Deffo worth the dosh.

[Chris Hawes]

Interesting info Mike,

Which brand of tyre is fitted to your car at the moment?

[bozzzydmc]

Yokohama Avid CT 235/60/15T on rear

Dont think they are available to buy now especially in the UK

I believe Yokohama tyres are one of the firm favourites for performance cars (street racers haha) as well as Toyo.

[ChrisS]

What are the current options for tyres, as far as I know there are no longer any matched sets. The closest is the PIRELLI - P6000 for the front and PIRELLI - P600 for the rear. Ed Uding told me a while ago that Pirelli were going to produce P6000 for the front but have never seen them available.

Yoko stopped making the AVS tyres in D sizes around 5 years ago, then Michelin started making tyres in the right sizes but again they stopped production. Even Cooper tyres in the USA have appeared to stop making D sizes, but a lot of people did not rate the Cooper tyre.

Be curious to know what the vendors use now. What do DMCH use James?

[bozzzydmc]

All i can currently find is the Pirelli P6000 or some 'no name' 4 x 4 tyre that fits, its a bit of a worry the lack of support for our tyre size .

This car was in the Patrick Collection? Don't remember seeing it there...

[bozzzydmc]

All I know that it was Ian titleys car. Obviously the wording of the ad is that of the seller.
