Need New Wire Wheel Whitewall Tires for 1963 Jaguar Mark 2 Sedan
Hello All,
Nick Vadalla at London Auto in Falls Church, VA is wrapping up a rebuild of my Mark 2's 3.8L engine.
I am in need of 4 X Whitewall Tires to replace the 20 year old Pirelli wire wheel tires.
The car has wire wheels and will need new inner tubes along with new tires.
The Mark 2 has a narrow tire width to avoid rubbing the spats in the back.
The tire specification is 185 HR 15. The whitewall width is a narrow 1 1/2" wide.
I can't find a replacement tire. It has been difficult to locate any tire close to this profile, as it appears that Pirelli, Michelin and many tire manufactures have phased out low volume tires.
I am writing for any assistance and any leads that will help me locate a suitable tire for a reasonable price.
Thank you,
Bill Fox
