the only potential sources are Longstone Tyres and Vintage Tyres. Good luck

Try Northants Tyres, that's where most of the Hot Rodders get theirs from. We've got the traditional wide bands on our Snipe, but they were on there when we got the car.

Kelly, who?

Suggest you ring the other guys as well, maybe they have Goodrich or something. Worth trying to get a reputable brand if you possibly can.

Kelly is an american brand and they are quite good.

Whatever you do don't go down the route of whitewall flaps, have heard some horror stories about them.

North hants dont do the Goodrich any more,i got two kelly thin white walls from them.

I was worried that the white wall wouldn't match the rear ones (goodrich) but they look ok.
