Thanks.Thought about mounting it up for my racer. But I know people search forever for these tires and other nos parts for restorations.

Find a high dollar oem restore garage queen buyer and you could buy several for your ride.

Fill it with concrete and make a stand for a grinder.

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..

I would use one of those Chinese copies for something like that.

I wish it were a pro vector.The 85 250 r came with dunlops.86 came with pro vector.

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.

I know people that will pay top dollar for atc tires that are original with correct date code them people do exist. Some peeps are into some hardcore restoration. What is the date code ?
