Hello All,
Which tyres were installed at the factory in Feb.1966 on the Mk1Cooper S with the optional 4.5"
wheels ?

Was it the Dunlop SP41 ? Was the Dunlop Aquajet available in Feb. 1966 ?

Thanks,
Jim

SP41s, think Aquajets became available in mid 68.

If you can find a usable set of SP41's you are a miracle worker.

well the tyre was relaced with the SP 68. one less tread band, but wider bands for less tread distortion. Bit like R7s
