A solid tyre I presume?

In the course of clearing my workshop these came out from under the bench, must have been there for he best part of thirty years, they were new then and intended to be used for a welding bottle trolley but it never got done. They're 8" diameter and have 3/4" bronze centre. solid tyres.
Available to anyone who wants them.

You can't beat a three-stud wheel for an unusual spot these days.

Here's one of my originals from the other day.
The wire wheel of an XK150 Jaguar. Very nice.

Photo Could have done with a bit more light!

-----------------

Oddity or not.
These wheels are on the most expensive Rover P6 Sold at Auction in recent years as I mentioned here, and usually with those sort of things originality is part of the value.

These are described as "Minilite Magnesium rims shod with Vredestein VR Sprint Classic tires".

A P6 does not look right with alloys in my view... Only wheels for a P6 are Rostyles...

That said, Minilites are the best and on some cars really look the business, just not on a P6...

A solid tyre

At least you know you'll never suffer a puncture with that one!

Or it cracking in the side walls, or ride comfort!

[Rp0thejester]

They should fit that to Citreons, see how the ride feels then.... I'd imagine it would still be comfortable

But for having a slow puncture a few weeks back, it's not hard to imagine my Picasso already has solid tyres fitted

You can still have cracking, I'll take a picture of my wheelbarrow's solid tyre, it's full of cracks! (Held together sooo far!)
