x2 or 3 would be nice..

I think this could interest some owners...

I Want to do a long term test for myself but I want to write it up too - a little bit like the Evo long termers....

With or without wheel - I'm not gonna pay silly money for them as in all fairness its a 13 odd year old tyre thats probably used :lol:

What ya got!

I know theres probably a few willys out there with them on but I bet most are in the garage and won't get used like a good daily like mine will do - I can also do some comparisons to find what new alternative is the closest to the original performance...

Thanks Chaps :D

u need peoples spares mate.

But the MXV2'S That the cup racers used in the wet are that hard now after 14odd years. They are very slippery in the wet.

Would be a nice feature to have on a show car but i would get the exalto2's for everyday use.

Bummer!

I have two here and I thought it would be a good experiment :cry:

Really fancy some decent 185's on the cheap for a while - might use these 2 as fronts and get some other rears..

Two minds Northrop two minds...

No point sourcing the tyre.
With the age of it, the properties will have changed so you wont be able to review it fairly with the tyre of old.
Kleber Dynaxer are rumoured to be very simular to the original though.

As above, wouldn't get original tyres now - they'll be like dried up rubber bands after this long lol

F1s FTW in white16valver world :wink: but they've stopped making them so I'm a bit screwed... :? :( lol

Just don't buy toyos!! :lol:

I'm gonna go for a set of those Kleber's - so many people have said to me how they punch above their weight...

Don't think anyone runs them on here do they?

I used to have 2 which i got with half tread left on them.
They where good tyres, best feedback i had out of any tyre i've driven so far.
