Dunlop India Unigrip look quite good, but I haven't tried them myself yet. The Dunlop K70 is also the right size, but looks a bit modern

HI

I have a set of Dunlop Unigrips (India) on my 1950 Rigid G3L and they are really good. Have a look at the photos of my G3L in the photo section on the forum, the photo titles are is 'Saddleworth' and 'Chuffed!' Just posted recently.

I got my tyres from Steve Lomas in Lincolnshire, they were about £50 each fitted. He trades as Five-One Wheels and his Tel. No. is 01507 343313

Steve is a very nice chap, give him a call.
