Source for Cross Ply Tyres for Series 1??

Post by smellsfishy »

Looking for advice if anyone can help.

I have a Series 1 that needs tyres replaced. It currently has Deestone Extra Traction 600-16's that have failed a WOF. I am keen to replace with the same or very similar tyres but am struggling to source through regular channels. Have tried Classic Tyres, Tyre Line etc and been told that no one is keen to import cross plys due to limited demand.

Can any member suggest alternative contacts for this type of tyre?

Cheers

im not sure if they recap cross plys, another option would be to find radial casings in that size and get them recapped
