tyres

The Olympic factory was in Melbourne , it closed around 10 years ago when PACIFIC DUNLOP decided it wasnt viable to compete against ASIA making tyres.
The 900-13's were made in Melbourne by OLYMPIC . I heard the OLYMPIC 900-13 moulds were sent off-shore to a ASIAN country . They also made 900 -16's in small batches for the army reserves' aging 25 pounder guns , right up to the early 1970's - don't know what happened to the moulds, they were directional tread - a few have turned up .
