Post by No More Landy »

Hi all.


Where can I buy original size tires.

I bought a set of original rims.

My only spare is marked 5.60-15

I spoke to Dunlop directly and they say there is possibly a factory in Zim that still produces old model vehicle tires but no details of this

I see Autostyle has a 165R15 for R1395 each. Brand is Vitour. That’s the only one I could find in South Africa. If you google Vitour it shows they’re a tyre manufacturer in Athlone, Cape Town.

Hi 73

Will that be the closest to the original?

Yes. I’m also in need of a set for my ‘71 1300DP. I’m going to look around soon.
