Can I refer you guys to the following sites:

http://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/

who have a huge range available and I believe will ship anywhere

http://www.classic-tyres.co.nz/introduction.html

who are good, but whose site is giving me difficulties (may be me!)


personally I run Fuldas which are (a) good, (b) cheap-ish

http://www.fulda.com/

or there is Coker

http://www.coker.com/

but they don't have Dunlop and for 100-6s they suggest whitewalls!!

Still can't find Durabands though!

Hope that this helps,

Peter Dzwig

guy I talked to knew of none.  I also asked him about a Michelin  XAS tire that 
they make in 165--notwithstanding the different number it has the  same 
dimensions, particularly diameter.  It is available, though quite  expensive. 
The XAS used to come on a lot of the 6-cylinder BMW sedans back  in the 1980's 
and I liked it then--does anyone haave any information on them and  thoughts on 
whether they would be an appropriate tire?  I have but about  5000-7000 miles 
left on my 175-15 ZX's.
