welbike Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 (edited) Hi there, Picked up these N.O.S. tyres and wheels last weekend, but have no idea about what they are of?? Make is Good-Year, size 24x7, rims say made for GB, and tyres Made in Britain. Any Ideas please?? Cheers, Lex Edited March 29, 2013 by welbike Punctuation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chasmq Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 They look like P51 Mustang tyres and several styles of alloy wheels were used in the day. Either way I would say USAF rather than RAF which tended to stick to one style of wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi there, checked that but rims are different on the inside, will take a bicture later today with a view of the other side too. Thanks, Lex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAFMT Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 RAF tyres during WW2 were usually Dunlop. If it is an RAF example there will be a number on the tyre which can narrow it down to a few candidates. Alternatively, there may be a part number stamped on the wheel hub.

welbike Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share Posted April 1, 2013 Ok, thanks, but it says on the tyre Goodyear Great Britain and on the rim Goodyear Gr. Britain, part no. E30204 Hope someone can find out about it, after hours of googling, I haven't found a thing! Cheers, Lex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Barrell Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I can ask on the Flypast forum if you like Lex. Somebody there will almost certainly know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you want me to send the pictures directly to you?? or can you use them from here? Cheers, Lex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Barrell Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) I'll take them from here if that's ok. Could you give me all the stamped in numbers, I think the 30204 number is the Patent number. Edited April 2, 2013 by Adrian Barrell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
