Having driven my 403 on Vredstein Sport Classics for a bit I was happy enough to order a set for the 406 from Black circles to be fitted at a local garage.
It was only when I got there that I remembered that the Bristol wheels need a larger than standard valve if using tubeless tyres. One of the places I asked called them the "Land Rover ones". Another called them 415s. It seems these are not something most tyre fitters keep in stock so worth ordering ahead of time.
A lad from the garage made an anxious call to tell me that the tyres I ordered were a completely different size from those on the car. I don't think he had heard of crossplies.
