We have a set of black wall tires that were on our Amphi when we
purchased it, we have since purchased new white walls and will not be
needing the old set and will be willing to bring them to Celina and
give them to a Amphi.
They are:
Sears Dynaglass 25
B78-13
The tread width is 5.5 inches.
4-ply tread, 2-ply sidewall.
They have about ? the tread as new.
They are not new tires by any means.
We think all 4 tubes are still with them, I just saw 3 for sure.
If you want them, please let us know B4 Celina and we will bring them
to you.

I could use those tubes. A couple of years ago I replaced my "weevil hors
d'oeurves" original CEAT tires with some perfectly nice used Coker wide
whitewalls thanks to Mark Braunstein, who was upgrading his 1500 Spitfire
engined "Muscle Amphi" to radials, but my tubes are probably still the
originals and whatever you've got are probably in better shape...

I am using the wide whitewall tires available either
from Gordon Imports or directly from
http://www.widewhitewaltires.com
A bit pricey for a small tire, I think they were
approx $100 each but I a may be off.

I have had them for a few years now, very happy with
them. Bias ply tires are nice for originality but if
you actually want to drive your car then radials are
the way to go.

Mark Richardson pointed out the way to go if you want originality.
When I bought mine the steel belted wide whites weren't available.

I really wanted the steel belted radials as they had made a huge
difference in my 67 Lincoln.

Based on a recommendation from Hugh on Size and my Mechanic couple
with a perverse sense of humor I went with the Goodyear Aquatreads.

I like them. They ride nice at 70 and they were under $50 installed
(that is most likely not a price you'll get elsewhere as my tire guy
really likes me. I'm sure he cut me a deal).

Don't forget tubes (I know some people don't believe n this) and make
sure that you remove the paper tag from inside the tire. Mine didn't
and it will rub a hole through the tube.

I have used both bias and radial. The improvement with radials is
minimal because of Amphi's design. I prefer the way the bias ply looks.
Jack I certainly was thinking of you when I went to pick up your new
Amphi. I started a spot at midwestamphicar.com for your car. I know I
gave Margie and the kids an extra hug when we all got home. My concerns
of that day seem so very trivial now. Later Dave the Wave

I hope this is not inappropriate for the list. I just bought a set of radials
for my car and have a set of like new Coker wide white tires. They have about
200 miles on them and still have the little nubs on them. They are the bias
type tires and I prefer radials. I would like to get about $100.00 each to
offset the cost of the new tires.
I can bring them to Celina to save on shipping if you are interested. Please
respond offline. Charles Reiner email TAZMAN3115@aol.com

Charles,

This type of posting is perfectly acceptable.

I have no issues with persons posting Amphi related
items that they have for sale. I would actually
encourage such exchanges. The only caveat is that it
generally should not be in association with a
commercial business.

Posting a set of tires for sale is not a problem. If,
on the other hand, Coker tire were utilizing the list
as an advertisting medium to sell tires it would be
another story. In that case, as list owner, I might
be willing to accept such postings in exchange for a
new set of tires. :-)

Regards,

Mike Israel

Does anyone know if original tires which have a flat spot from sitting for years
will smooth out if driven a bit?
Thanks,
Mike
