TR2/3/3A TR3A needs tires

[CinneaghTR]

Anybody ever hear of Nexen tires. They have a 165 80 15 load index is 87 and speed rating is T. I've been skipping around on the Internet. Not a lot of choices out there especially if your looking for whitewalls. Unless you have $600 + to spend.

Have you tried these guys?

I have no experience with them, but they supposedly add whitewalls/stripes to tires in multiple sizes so it might be an option for you.

Also, since you are in NE Ohio, maybe some of the TRA guys could help you out in finding a local shop or supplier?

Finally, if you forego the whitewalls, the Vredestein tires, both the + and Classics, are just great. I can't recommend them enough.

Remember Port-A-Walls?? Hard to believe, but they are still made.

Found a local shop (40 miles away) that has a set of Bridgestone/Firestones. These are not being made now and he purchased a lot of them a couple of years ago. Don't remember if they were white walls but pretty much given up on that idea. $69 ea installed seem cheap.

Just a thought - are you concerned about the age of those tires from "a couple of years ago"? There's a school of thought that tires beyond a certain age ... may be unreliable. Several topics in the past here talked about that.
