| Post subject: | Mini 10 inch tyres |
Hi guys, a few questions, Where would I get 10 radials in aussie ??? I am restoring a 64' UK Cooper S, and need some quality tyres. You just can't get them over here in NZ. Any ideas on how much, and where to get them. My mate has a container coming over here in mid june, from the Gold Coast, so anyone handy to there would be a bonus. So, price, brand and availability to the Gold Coast would be great !!!! Any help please, and I will put you in my will !!! Cheers, Colin |

They were an optional tyre for about the last six months of Cooper S production.

The only reason that I can think of to fit Aquajets is that they are Dunlops and Dunlop was the supplier for the Cooper S.

Chop, In 1964, Aquajets hadn't been invented. 
Back then we had- (in 145/10 radials) Dunlop SP41 Dunlop SP44 (rally specials) Olympic GT radial (the originals, not those that Alan Moffatt flogs) Michelin X then ZX, then XAS Probably more but I never ran `em so can't remember.
