One of our fellow CB enthusiasts has spent considerable time in trying to locate a tyre similar to the old Dunlop Wintertread. Recently he has come
across a 6.40 X 15 tyre from Antique Tyres that he purchased and has put on his vehicle. There is a very small rubbing on full lock but the tyre fits
under the front bonnet and allows closure. The tyre sits a tad higher on the road- see photo comparison but works very well albeit the limited
usage.
The tyre was $160 shipped to WA. I have attached a photo of the tyre to show tread pattern. If you have enquiries talk to Ben at Antique
Tyres,Heidleburg Vic
Which Country Buggies are those Bill? You cant put up new pics without telling me the KO numbers...... :P
G- You got me.
The guy owns both KO016 and KO209 and from the Pics I think the one with the new rubber is KO209.
Go with that and I will get clarification.

Well since neither are in the Gallery, I will need more pics......
Graham,
The owner promises to get in contact with you and provide some additional photos to add to the gallery.
He said the tyres work a treat wioth just a small rubbing on full left hand down lock.

Bill, I've sent you an email. The two I have a KO16 and KO 691. I don't have KO 209
Graham, I will get two albums together soon when I finish restoring KO691 and send them onto you for the galery. (great job by the way)
Thanks George
