Try Vintage Tyres and Classic Tyre store.  Both show them online, expensive these days, so make sure your rims are perfect as they cut easily.

Thanks robin.

I'll check them.

Thankfully my wheels have new rims.

I always knew dunlop were expensive, but the prices on longstone for an unknown name did surprise me.

I believe that all of the pre war Dunlop range is now being produced by Avon under the Ensign brand using the original moulds.

Tony - My undrilled rims and tyres came from a source that supplied them for Taiwanese rickshaws but was so long ago I can't find or recall from whence.  Not much help, but it might send you off in other directions to search.   Good Luck,  Cheers,  Bill in Oz
