Thanks mark for that great information. I just need that color code now. I would love opinions on color as well. I will b mounting up the Dunlop vintage racing tires, same ones that were on the recent bobileff restored, sheehan sold black beauty. I can't stop thinking about gold, it would 'pop'
What sizes did you get? 650M-15? The Dunlop catalog is a bit confusing.
..let's see, I got three different sizes, they are from the vintage racing series of Dunlop tires,
600/1200 series for the two rears
525/1050 series for the fronts
475/1000 for the spare
and I have one aluminum front (it will be the unfortunately HEAVY spare, there is already too much weight back there!), and it will ride on the four magnesium wheels at the corners.
okay before anyone rushes out and acquires those tires, I am already changing them! SO DON"T. I really want to fill up the wheel wells in the rear (the correct Mangusta 'look' for sure), so I am going to switch out something else with a higher profile, perhaps not as wide...from the 'M' series I believe..and the spare, I will have to probably reconsider as size is critical. Who knows the maximum 'allowable' size tire that will still fit under those engine hatches? Thanks
