Sorry for this limited interest post but does anyone by any chance have a pair of new or decent condition Dunlop 450 x15 R5 tyres, surplus to requirements?
They have been out of production for 18 months and become rarer than hens teeth. Dunlop moved their plant to Eastern Europe and chaos reigns.
Of course have the option of racing on road tyres, won't win any prizes but will be interesting!
Thanks,
David.

They appear to be available at Longstone Tyres:-

Thanks Austin, but no joy there. Long chat with Dougal this afternoon, no idea when, if ever, they will have them.

This is going to be a problem. No one has any in stock that I can find and no idea when they might get any. Same applies to 3.50x16 racing tyres. Only real option is to use 15in radials but Vscc don't allow those.

For Dunlop Vintage R5 Tyre 450-15 Demon Tweeks site claims:-

Available For Despatch In 7 days

Thanks again Austin. No joy there either!

For what its worth HP Tyres told us they would be in stock in June. I believe they moved production to Portugal, is that East?
