Can anyone suggest suppliers of Rasied White Letter tyres, other than North Hants, Sinton and Camskill?

Not specifically looking for the cheapest, just stockists. I've just found out that due to law changes, they'res a bunch of tyres that can no longer be imported, and stocks are starting to dwindle.

Just my luck that I need tyres soon, but not right now.

You could just buy whatever you wanted and get a specialist to paint the tyre for you..

For example this guy:

He travels around too, so a mobile tyre artworker..

It's not so much the RWL, but the sizes are odd too. There doesn't seem to be too many 245/60r15 or 235/60r15s about.

Just went to bag a set from Sinton, to find they only have 3 left. Need to try and find 1 more now.

Spot on

I decided to go for and get a set, calling Sinton who had 5 in stock yesterday, but only 3 today

Looked on BlackCircles to see if I could get the remaining one from there, to find that they were cheaper all round, so I bought 4 for £330 all in.

Need to cleanup the spare set of wheels now, ready to get them fitted.

Looks like I celebrated too early!

Turns out BlackCircles get these tyres from Sinton, so there's still only 3.

Not been able to find anyone else selling them, so it looks like I'll have to pay a little more for some inferior Hercules, or a lot more for some BF Goodridges.

I know what I'd prefer, but I can't afford it :skint:

Tyres Direct in Water Eaton, MK.

My Cooper Cobra's (235-60-R15's) were £280 for four, fitted, balanced, valves etc . . .

Thanks, but too late now. Plumped for a set of Hercules HP4000s. Not sure I'd they are going to be any good or not yet, but they look 'reasonable'.
