Re: tyres EirikJ, here's the link to my (now old news) investigation of tyre sidewalls... https://www.flickr.com/photos/30132857@ ... ist-6wbBefBtw, a few months back, I sold one of the Dyanes which have been sitting around here for far too long. Before it went, I replace its ancient Firestone 560 tyres with a set of these Maxxis tyres. Considering how easy they were to fit, I intend to buy another set very soon for my everyday Dyane; definitely before March 2019, when the £ will most probably drop through the floor...  . https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4x-SUMMER-TY ... :rk:4:pf:0EirikJ wrote: Derek wrote: Cut - to show the cross section.

Re: tyres Ken, now I quite understand why Firestone is so hard. Thank you for sharing the picture. Anyway, there must be something on these tyres that make many 2cv fans use them...

Re: tyres My 4 x Maxxis have arrived. I have a leaking rim. The inside of the rim has not grown with rust, so I thought I may try cleaning it up and sealing it inside where the rim parts join, with seam sealer. Any thought?
