Tyers for a Bristol 407
Greg,
With vintage tyres the moulds are often no longer owned by the original
manufacturer (in this case Vredestein) but by another company who is either
retailing or distributing the tyres. They will typically have a run of say
1000 or 2000 tyres produced which may take several years to sell. So they
are not really expensive.
They may also choose to sell on tyres to other retailers. Is that a bad
thing if it keeps the tyres available?
