What is the date code on the tire ? That's  pretty  important  to determine value  ! Example  if i were doing  a restoration on a 1985  i would  want the tire to be from  that year not a tire that was made in 1987.

the pro vector is the real sought after tire.. Dunlop was a replacement tire.. still worth $200 ,,, if it was pro vector,,  $400+ easy..

Was the dunlop a 250R only tire for 85? We got a low hour 85 350x in 87 from the original owners & it had an ohtsu pro vector front tire.

All the 250R three wheelers from 81-85 had Dunlops.I bought a brand new 200x in84 and it had pro-vectors.

I believe Rupp was being truthful. Some, have no interest in an original tire.

Oh I was. I could care less for an original tire. I don't have garage queens. That tire is a piece of crap by now. Plus this stuff is really not worth that much $$$.
