Uniroyal Tires
Apparently my 1970 Canadian built Chevelle left the factory with a set of Uniroyal tires. I have looked in the internet, but cannot seem to find them. Is this brand not reproduced?
TIA |

Re: Uniroyal Tires
Original owner son said he has a picture when the Chevelle was new and it had them. I'm waiting on a copy of once he scans it.

Re: Uniroyal Tires
Luis a lot of Canadian built 70 Chevelle SS's came with the Uniroyal Tiger paws for some reason.
I had one from 1984 to 1997 which had a Uniroyal spare in the trunk which was never used along with photos of the car with original paint showing those tires. Those are very difficult to find in good shape, Good luck. Pictured is a friend of mines Oshawa built car with those tires.

Re: Uniroyal Tires
My Lansing-built (but Canadian-sold) '71 442 came with the Tiger Paws originally. Here's the original spare in it's trunk.

TIA </div></div> Luis, I bought a set of four of these which came off of a show car from Canada. They're not delivered yet but I'm guessing they might be Canadian with a maple leaf on them. Not sure until I get them. Few if any road miles on them. Just in and out of the trailer for major shows. I bought them for the mags so I'll be selling the tires. Verne |

Not sure yet. I just knew I HAD to have them. Verne [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/blush.gif[/img] |
