Dunlop 6.70 X 16 Road Speed Tires

[phil w]

Does anybody know of any '50's British car that originally used this tire? A few years ago, through this miracle they call the internet, I bought 5 NOS absolutely "original" size tires for my XK140. "Last original equipment set for your car in the world." Turns out I need 6.00 instead of 6.70, so I need to find a British car that used this size and hope to sell and get back some of my cost. I did find that they do fit a Jaguar, but it's the big Mark 7,8,&9 sedans. I don't think there's a big sedan owner that wants 60+ year old tires that he can't drive on safely. Even though they're very pretty, they're for driving on and off the show trailer only. So, instead of going to British car shows and looking at every car's tires, I thought asking here might shrink my search. 

 

Thanks for looking,

Phil.
