Re: European classic tyres
Bert’s is selling the black walls for $150 and the white walls for $210. I’m not sure if there are better deals out there.

did find Lucas for about 119. I thinks.............. also, looks like coker may have teamed up with Classic of Germany Summit used to offer free shipping- not seeing that now. Looks like all costs went up..... as in everything else. |

Re: European classic tyres
Lucas ,made in Vietnam, and the Excelsior tires are Nylon cord, not polyester.
Try Coker or Jegs, the latter has a discount offer for Excelsior. The Euro's are headquartered near Copenhagen, De. but not sure where the tires are constructed. Last edited by duke36; 03-14-2023 at 10:32 AM. |

Re: European classic tyres
I tried putting 4 tires in my cart, just to see if it was free shipping. The shipping charge was $39. plus $9.99 for oversized. Maybe the shipping deal is done.

88. each and 10. oversize charge. free shipping with NJ tax, 105. each didnt think anything out there could be bought at this price. may still buy a set of the europeans, for my other car.......... |

Re: European classic tyres

I am not expecting much, at that price. Almost ordered a 2nd set........ all my tires are old and I want to start driving at least one of the cars this yr. |

Re: European classic tyres
tires arrived today and they look fine.
do have a gripe about Jegs shipping........... so they charge you an extra 10. per tire for oversize, but they put each one in a huge box, that could easily hold two? and I wonder why America is run so inefficiently............ people are getting dumber by the minute! lol |

That said, don't feel America is special in this regard. We have a plentiful supply of people like that. Do want any of them???

Re: European classic tyres
Are these tyres radial ply? I haven't seen them here.

Re: European classic tyres
To my knowledge, none of the tires listed in this thread, except the ones mentioned in post #8. are radials.

Re: European classic tyres
Thanks for that, Mr Cylinder! The choice of tyres here is very limited and not getting any better. I guess retailers can only justify carrying a limited range when there is a notion that tyres should not be more than 10 years old.

Re: European classic tyres
if the tires are around 100. each, they will never be radial.
radials fetch a good bit more. aside from the radials performing better, Im not a fan of the look. The excelsiors I bought have a very sturdy sidewall and are fine for the price. how long they last I dont know, but I dont drive as much as I would like anyway. If youre doing major touring, then I would start looking at the european classics or better. |
