6.50x16 Xtragrip tyre wanted

[removeduser185]

OK, time to come begging. Having bought three NOS Good Year Hi-miler Xtragrip tyres for my Lightweight and 5 rims with tyres of which two might, just, make spares, I am in need of another so I can get on and put the correct tyres and wheels on the vehicle and get rid of the over-large Michelin 7.50x16s. I had hoped the five would provide me with at least one to fit on the vehicle, but, sadly, they aren't up to it.

Does anyone have one - or even better two in good, usable, roadworthy condition which they can spare from their stash? I keep my eye on eBay, but they are rather rare, but I might be able to replace it in the fullness of time or "buy it now" - which ever you prefer. I do understand that this is a big ask, so only offer one if you're really sure.

I'd also be interested in any leads you might have to find one.

Hi Fred
Did you source any 6.50s, I also need 2.

Not so far. As it stands, I have a watch on eBay for them, but nothing yet. Currently I have three NOS with one wheel plus 5 badly worn on correct rims which need refurb (which I shall do later this year). These 5 will find me a spare, but none is good enough to make up the fourth actually on the vehicle. I then want to sell the 5 7.50x16 plus their LWB rims. What I shall do in the future when the Xtragrips are finished, I don't know, but I would consider 600x16 bargrips. I know Series IIIs didn't have bar grips, but some 2As did and they look fine, need tubed rims and are available.

Thank you for reply Fred.
Sankey is getting the works and just need 2 new tyres also. Good luck

Try eBay for the Sankey tyres- there are often some available for them.
