I live on the IOM.
I need 5 tyres for a lightweight 1962 car. The car weighs 700kg / 1400lb, and has a 70mph maximum speed. It's original tyres were 5.20 x 12 tubed on 3.50x12 rims.
Can anyone suggest a good mail order company please?
Thanks

Longstone tyres might be worth a visit.

5.20 x 12 crossplies are going to be very limited ... google search might help but Longstone will be a start .. but they ain't cheap!

From your name I assume the car is a Goggomobil or something similar. Does it have to be crossply? I think radials of a similar size were used on BMC 1100s of that era.
