tyres
This 900-13 thread just keeps popping up , again and again .
Owning two vehicles that demand this size means I have a keen interest . Not that the said cars are used much .. sad to say .
This is conjecture to some degree, but I believe the Olympic moulds were shipped up to Indonesia some years back . The Olympic factory here in Melbourne , was still producing small batches of them, until at least 10 years ago. Around 8 years ago, I managed to buy 3 new ones from a tyre dealer in NSW , they advertised them in 'THE LAND' paper . They smell brand new , of recent manufacure ( when I got them ), no doubt at all . Somebody.. emailed me pics of the exact same tyre, with 'Made in Indonesia' on the sidewall . Mine are marked 'Made in Australia'.
Olympic .. dont know . Do they still exist now .
We are a tiny market .. the tyre makers really dont give a toss .
