I have a Dunlop Road speed RS4 (for display purposes only) hanging in my ga=
rage. I was curious what originally came on the 100? Some sources state Dun=
lop road speed. From some light digging I did online it seems a RS2 or RS3 =
were never made available. Also found that the RS4 could have been used as =
early as 56' and the RS5 around 59'. The period ads list the RS4 for the 30=
00 and a few other cars.

So my question is, was there a RS1? Or even just a Road Speed without any f=
urther letter/number identification? I almost feel comfortable pointing at =
the tire and saying "that is the original tire that would have come on my 5=
7' 100-6", but what about the 100. Hmmmmm.  Could be wrong though.

Thanks  all, Shawn

<p class=3D"yiv6099576103MsoNormal">I have a Dunlop Road speed RS4 (for dis=
play
purposes only) hanging in my garage. I was curious what originally
came on the 100? Some sources state Dunlop road speed. From some
light digging I did online it seems a RS2 or RS3 were never made
available. Also found that the RS4 could have been used as early as
56' and the RS5 around 59'. The period ads list the RS4 for the
3000 and a few other cars.&nbsp;</p>

<div>
<p class=3D"yiv6099576103MsoNormal">So my question is, was there a RS1? Or =
even
just a Road Speed without any further letter/number identification?
I almost feel comfortable pointing at the tire and saying "that is
the original tire that would have come on my 57' 100-6", but what
about the 100. Hmmmmm.&nbsp; Could be wrong though.</p>
