Title: I need some help form you guys out there in the USA
Post by: Lee.C on January 21, 2007, 04:47:47 am
As the title says I need some help from you guys out there in the Grand old USA  :)

You see I am self confessed Rubber pervert (Imean tires by the way ;)) and I just love the look of TRUE original tires from the 60's and 70's not the "almost the same" repro items  you can buy nowadays be it a nice pair of Pie Crust white wall Slicks or the Holy Grail - a pair of NOS Goodyear Blue Streaks (I wish)

But as you guys out there know I am also a bit of a Old Skool Dune Buggy Freak  :P So what I am really looking for is a set of 4 Original Gates XT Commando's preferable 2 10x15 and 2 6x15 I have located a few sets over the years but the deals have never come to anything  :'( :'( :'(

So let me know if you have ANY information on a set of these - I have cash waiting  :)

I think Mickey Thompson makes a tire that has a very similar tread pattern...
