Morris Minor Owners Club

you used to be able to get a off road type tyre for the morris called town and country, i was just wandering if anyone knows if you can still get them and if so where from

thanks, david

Yes - should be able to get similar tyres from Colway - sold for rallying - dunno what sizes they will have - ask them !

Looks like you can have 165/70 x14, or go down to 13" wheels where there are many more suitable sizes.

You mean like ths one? 155 x 14 Dunlop

Town & Country's were great tyres.
Colways represent great value for money as purely off road budget tyres - but they are remoulds - fully speed rating guaranteed - I put a set of mud & snow ones on the range rover for using in the fields, fantastic value but wouldnt have them for main road driving as theres a lot of movement in the sidewalls at 50mph + so might be a consideration if you travel a lot on motorways etc.

russLCV that tyre looks like just what im looking for

a couple of people have been talking about colways tyres and i had a look on their site and couldnt find anything that would fit on a morris or even how to buy a set.

Think the last time i bought some (not for a mog) was a real pain - had to purchase through an agent, then arrange further shipping onwards to the isles.
Oh and they sent the wrong size so had to go back but thats another story.
If your decided on them shoot them an email with they size and type you want and where can you get them from - for what they are its great value for money.
Know quite a few people keep a set of spare wheels with colway studded tyres for snow when it comes - worth doing if youve got a taxi e.g.

Wow at last! Been looking for a pair of these. Now if I put a pair of cnk1 (175/14s) on a pair of 4.5 j is should be just about ok (i think) the speed rating of 99mph will be fine for the van! I run 165's on the 4.5j at the minute so the next size up should be fine.

Brill!

Thanks
