#1 White wall tires 205/70r15

Post by Thim » Sat Mar 23, 2019 12:09 pm

Hey, I'm looking for some white walls for my s1. I have been looking all over the internett but all the white walls i seem to find is do not have the speedindex V that the E-type needs. I have been in contact with a few tire dealers in the UK, but they all say that they need to special make one, costing about 410+VAT per tire. And I dont want to spend 1700 pounds on tires.. Anyone know some dealer that sell white walls to a lower price? In the worst case I'm cosidering buying regular tire and putting on a white wall portwall. Don't have any expirence with these, and feel like they might leak air, or might not hold their shape over the years. Anyone having any expirence or knowledge please let me know :)

There is a company in Surrey who make whitewall trims to fit on existing tyres called bravado automotive tyre trims, they don't seem to have a website but they have an e mail address bravado@zoo.co.uk
or phone 01932-874000
Haven't used them but seen their advert in a few classic car mags.

RADAR offers the Dimax Classic in your size with white walls.
But I have no idea, if their quality will match their looks - however good or bad that is.
