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.
