Tyres Selection

21/8/2018

I believe the wheels for the VA are Dunlop 19" diametre with a 3" wide rim.

After a lot of input from the SVW Group and local knowledge, I have decided to use the following tyres:

       4.75/5.00-19" Excelsior 76P 4-ply tubed-type black tyre

and will order five of them in a couple of days.   My reasoning not to go for a wider set was that there seems to be some doubt on the gap between the door and the spare wheel if a larger tyre was used.

I will get them delivered to my wheels restorer who can safely remove the current set and carefully fit them when the wheels are done.

My tyre supplier provided these photos.

1)  4.75/5.00-19” Excelsior x-ply – this is the one I will have

2)  5.00R19” Excelsior Stahl Sport radial

3)  4.75/5.00-19” Firestone (w/w) black is the same x-ply

4)  4.75/5.00-19” Waymaster 30 x-ply

5)  4.75/5.00-19” Universal x-ply
