POR 15 or Chassis Saver Paint in Ontario

[Jacques Reed]

Hi Bob,

The great tips just keep on coming! Many thanks.

Yes, have been following the tyre thread with great interest.
I am very lucky that I scored a set of 5 NOS Dunlop Trak Grips many years ago and later purchased a set of Simex T24s which I believe were ex-Singapore or Malaysian military. They were made from the Dunlop T24 moulds for British wheels.

Needless to say, the original Dunlop's slipped on easily on just cleaned and primed rims using only rubber lubricant. No tools required.

I decided in view of their rarity, not to use the Dunlops and keep them for display purposes only plus the Simex tyres were over 50 years newer and therefore I felt safer for road use. These will go on the POR 15 painted wheels.
Measurements indicate they are the same bead profile and 5 degree angle as the Dunlops but I want to give myself every advantage of slipping them on, and more importantly, slipping them off the rims, should the need arise hence the POR 15.

Cheers,
