Default Looking for a Dunlop tire

Does anyone know where to find a Dunlop GT Qualifier 225/15R70 with raised white letters?

This tire has been out of production for about 3 years.

Thanks so much for your help.

I had the old ones on mine, but couldn't find any new ones.



Replaced mine with BFG white lettered.

By any chance do you still have those Dunlops available to sell?

The tires on the vette are in excellent condition. Would rather by one tire rather than 4 new ones. It sounds like you are very happy w/ your BFGs. So will keep that in mind as well.

No, I left them at the tire store when I bought the new ones.
Would have given them to you, but you would not really wanted
to use them. They had been on the 73 since sometime in the 80's.

I have a set of Goodyear GT tires, about 40% tread left, genuine original 1979 tires with no dry rot, very hard rubber and dangerous to drive on, I replaced them with Cooper Cobra's but if someone wants them free for their resto show car let me know, oh by the way, you pay freight.........I'm in Australia.
