Hello.

Now I'm finishing the restoration of my 1978 ex-NATO thing, I'm looking for a set of 4 original look tires...

The spare one is a Dunlop 185 SR14... with a NATO reference 2610 - 12 - 155 - 9009. Searching the net and nothing... Any ideas?


If it's the stock size you are looking for, in addition to searching for 185SR14, you may want to search for 185/80rR4 and 185/82R14.

Maybe look at the Bridgestone Blizzak w800. They are for the north and east European market, but they are the right size and they have the look. You'd have to ship them across the world.
