Karmann Komment Volume 42 | Issue 2 NEW BOOTS
I Monday 10th March closed a chapter in the life of my 1958 Karmann Ghia and opened another. My long used and celebrated Firestone Whitewall cross- plies were pensioned off after 17 years (I kid you not) to be replaced by a set of Kontio Whitewall 165/80R15 Radials. Their profile similarity to the Firestones makes them a good choice for me and as they work out as less than £200 each also makes a good saving on other
Whitewall Radials. The few online reviews of them I've read, have been very good
so I took the plunge. I bought the tyres from "Vintage Tyres" in Beaulieu; they also have an outlet in Bicester and the eagle eyed amongst you will have noticed a new addition on our discounts page. They gave me, (and you if you ask nicely) a 10% discount to KGOC GB members."
