BSCC- Tires?

[John]

John, Check with Town Fair Tire...They have stocked the very same Hankook tire Clark's was selling. I believe Ray Bombardier got some at the Milford location and even bargained a special price for Bay State members from the manager there. If you don't get the answer you are looking for at one location, try another...Some counter people don't feel like going the extra mile to check availability at other locations. Good luck!

  Hi All,

  I'm looking for a set of 4 stock 13" tires (185-80R13) for my recently acquired '66 500, which I expect to have ready for the road in the next couple of weeks.  The tires on the car have badly cracked sidewalls and are therefore unuseable.  So far I've checked with Hogan and Town Fair and they say there's none to be had.  Clark's is out of stock.  I haven't checked with The Tire barn yet.  I intend to drive my car daily, so I'm looking for good quality tires, preferrably new.  If you have any leads or a set you want to sell, please let me know.

  My other option is to convert to larger wheels (preferably 14 x 6).  I was hoping to start that search when I had more time, but if you have any leads in that direction, I'd consider that too.

  Thanks.

  John Weigel
