the PDF also includes the actual Michelin tyre, but it seems it wasn't available at the time. I wonder if it's since been reproduced, as France40 vehicles have them fitted to some of their restored vehicles. https://www.facebook.com/france40vehicules/ |
See
Michelin Made in England.
As I read it, the document advises to avoid using tyres which are long out of production, including those Michelins.
The second picture you posted was a similar tread apparently sold by Vrakking in The Netherlands, but seems to be no longer available from them. Would be interested to learn if they were made recently.
