Its the front tyre that is used on the Smart Car that Merecedes Benz make. The tyre is a Continental 145/65. 15 They are great on slammed bugs cause
they are VERY low profile and pretty narrow in the side wall, so they wont rub on anything. Most people only run them on the front, but I run them on
the rear too, so I only have to drop the rear 2 outer notches, and its on its guts. Great handling tyre too.

cool il have 2 have a look at these 2

Ive heard that potawalls can go on them, but u have to watch youre tyre pressures all the time, but u can get them whitewalled the old way pretty
cheap so Ill do that, at least they cant come off then. Hey Handycam, if you are ever coming up melbourne way, let me know, I can get them through my
work at dealer cost, (about $120 each inc GST), saves about $80 per tyre.

spats were made by myself, not an easy job as i found out, had 2 make templates etc, and many trial fits, as for the faded paint and signs, now that
would be giving away my secrets, with a bit of luck, will have spats and faded signs (on your car, or just sign boards etc) available to the public,
along with a few other goodies directed at the volksrat scene. watch this space.

Looks simply awesome.
Am getting a roofy for Boris this week, quite different to yours, love the bike and case and is that an antique fishing rod I see?
I have had one attached to mine via period rod holders for a little while, looks great!
Great stance too!

my hertz
Wall speak of Hertz, your car looks more reliable than the one that I left Vegas with. Prius lasted 1 hour and had to wait in Needles Ca. for a
replacement. Now have travelled thru Nevada, Arizona, Mexico, New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, South Dakota, Wyoming and currently in Billings Montana on
the way to Washington then Vancouver Canada b4 heading back thru Washington, Oregon, Utah back to Las Vegas, Nevada. Fair old road trip in the
replacement Mazda6. Thank you Mr Hertz. Had a great time yesterday at Mt Rushmore and today at Little Big Horn. volma1
They are still there, just have faith you'll find one.
