MG TD TF 1500 - Update on Vredestein tires in 165 size.

Looking for any current info regarding availability of above tires. I specifically would like to find whitewalls, as I used those back in "the day". (Sorry any purist on site. lol)
Thanks

Google shows many results for Vredestein tires 165. You might try it?

You will probably have to go to the specialty manufacturers, as elephant-walls are no longer available from large manufacturers. Check with someone like Coker Tires.

All the classic whitewalls you want BUT not in Vredestein.

Are these the type of whitewalls that you want? Club member John Camichos' TD. I believe that he bought them from Coker in 2015 or 2016. Not sure if they are bias ply or bias-look radials. They are identical to the tires that were on the car when John bought it in 1956 … can't get anymore period correct than that!

I can ask him about the type of tire and size of white wall if you want.

See history of his car in this month's (December 2019) Sacred Octagon from the New England MG T Register. More info in recent BBS thread: Sixty-three Year Love Affair With a TD

Here is John's TD in 1956 and in 2016. Tires are identical.
