james christie Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 (edited) Who knows where I can find some wide white walled tyres - not for a TR - 185/14 must be C rated for a van? james Edited October 9, 2023 by james christie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 What about whitewall inserts?

james christie Posted October 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 I think I would upset him if I showed him these two replies!. It’s a T2 converted from a van (in Brazil) hence the obligation for the C rating. james Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 In North America the possible source would Coker Tire Co Inc. https://www.cokertire.com/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james christie Posted October 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 We bought some white walled tyres from Coker for his Simca 8 Sport some 10 years ago. Good service and a good price. Alas the USD is now much higher against the Euro, as is the freight cost and thus Coker have become prohibitively expensive! james Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Morrison Posted October 10, 2023 Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 Hi James, wouldn't consider inserts, they are speed limited and unreliable. There used to be some tyre shops that offered the process for any new tyre, done with a roller device? John. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted October 10, 2023 Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 Is this the sort of two tone and white wall effect he is seeking? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
