I'm not sure "le French Police" will like it either... but it's either fit a bonnet or have carburettors Laughing

Jo told me those tires were the smallest www tires he found (5.60 15 Firestone Bias ply Whitewalls equals to a 155-15). They're avaible with to different sizes of white walls (1 inch and2 3/4 inches).

But on Coker Tire Company site, you can find 500-15 (<=> 145R15) BF Goodrich Bias ply tires with a 2 inches whitewall. In 560-15 you can also find U.S Royal tires ( a little bit more expensive than the Firestone) and Coker Classic tires (the cheappest).

Then it's just a question of taste ... All are bias ply tires. It may gives to a 2cv a particular behavior on the road compare to the radial Michelin ....

Coker Tire Company have distributors in Europe : in Switzerland, Sweden, Spain & Portugal, Netherlands, Italy, finland, Norway, Germany, Austria and England but not in France ... (according to the official web site ...)

Hahaha, it's great! Just need to put a coffin in the back and cutains in the back and side windows!

I like your front tires. Where do they come from?
