Bobby,

Check out http://www.geocities.com/goalie_john/ - there is a scan of Autocar
magazine from March 1975.  This refers to Dunlop SP68, Radial ply tubeless,
155SR13.  This is from a British magazine, so tyres for export markets may,
or may not, be different.


Also I found a test of the Mk III in Car & Driver magazine of Sept 1967 at
http://www.vwclassic.co.uk/~l4glqcm6m1lm/triumphs/triumph_spitfire_mk3_road_
test_US_CD0967_1.htm , the technical specs refer to:
Dunlop 5.20S-13 "Gold Seals," 4-ply nylon tubeless


So Dunlops of one sort or another seem common.

Hope that helps!

Richard & Daffy (sporting a dubious mix of Michelin and Kwik-Fit own brand
at the moment!)
