Title: Aurelia Tyres Offered 165x400 Michelin XAS
Post by: sparehead3 on 20 October, 2014, 08:23:55 PM
Hi All,

I've been contacted with this from an ex-owner. If anyone would like to get in touch with Colin, please drop me a line and I'll forward on details.

Regards,
Steve

"Dear Sirs,
               I have owned many Lancia cars including four Aurelias the last one for thirty eight years witch I sold in 2003. I am now nearly 80 years old and we moving to a smaller property, and when clearing my garage I found two 165x400 Michelin XAS tyres, they are about half worn. It seems such a shame to throw them, if anybody is interested let me know they are F.O.C plus postage.

                                                                                                             Regards Colin Moss."

Therefore the tyres must be at least 11 years old! Not a good idea to refit these I would say.

Would do for a project car or storage...

I can say from personal experience they'd fit Augusta wheels.  My Augusta project is on a set of Aurelia MOT fail tyres Simon Ingman was given by Anthony Hussey way back when.
