Weren't those Good Years?, there are a few vendors over here in the US that sell Repo tires, I have seen their ad's in the antique tractor magazines.

Goodyear are making short runs for the vintage tractor market. Be prepared to let the moths leave your wallet.

Thanks for the help, is there any other options available? it would have been nice to try and keep it original but what can you do.... The old ones are perished and have about 10% and the other side is a racing slick
many thanks dan

I bit the bullet and put Goodyears on my Major. No complaints about quality or look. However, I believe the original tyres fitted were Firestones. I tried to find some but don't think they are made any more.
Best, Adrian.
