These are essentially new tyres as in the title they have done 0000 miles! They are Jinju 195/70/R15 light truck tyres and were fitted to my bus while it was getting painted and welded, I have now fitted slam tyres as it is getting lowered next week so these are surplus to requirements. For sale at the bargain price of £100 for all four tyres, sorry no offers as these are already rock bottom price for four amazing tyres. Collection from Redhouse North Swindon, Wiltshire.

These do have a light dusting of dirt from being in my garage and paint dust spray but they are completely serviceble and at a great price.

Ok, now with a brand new spare tyre of the same size and a BRM 5x205 already fitted and balanced. This tyre is an EVENT branded tyre.

Hi, can you tell me the overall height of the tyres?

Many thanks

Jim

Any issues with rubbing on these? We're/are you running at stock height?

My bus was stock when these were fitted, I have since straight axled and am fitting dropped spindles on the front. They are I believe stock profile tyres for buses that had 15" wheels, they were fitted to brand new BRM's and taken off as I say to fit low profile tyres. The '70' part of the tyre code is the height from the rim. There was no rubbing or clearance issues at stock height, and if I was keeping it stock I would be keeping the tyres. I hope that answers your questions ok, many thanks.

1st dibs please (pending pm)

Thanks

These are not quite as high as the original stock profile tyres so the gearing will be lowered slightly with these fitted. A Radial equivalent to the stock crossplies would be a 195/ 80/15, this would maintain standard gearing.

To the chap who asked about rubbing - these tyres will definitely not rub the arches of any stock height bus as they are slightly smaller than the standard tyres (which also don`t rub)

Stock tyres on a late bus are 185/14 I thought?

Not on 15" wheels LOL

On Pre 64 buses standard wheel size was 15"....

on late bus you are correct...14" was standard.. but size was on crossplies so thesamba.com
5jk x 14" wheels 7.00 x 14 tyres

Sincere apologies but yes stock on later buses is 14", I have a 63 bus (Aug 63 so a 64 model year) so the stock are 15s. I have sent the diameter measurements to the gentleman who has called dibs on these and I think as already pointed out that these are about an inch smaller than stock tyres which are 80 profile not 70.

So just to clarify these fit 1956-1964 buses with 15" wheels, pre 55 is obviously 16" on barndoors.

Still available.

I will take £80 for all five tyres and the BRM!
