Tyres for BMW RS 54 sidecar

(1/2) > >>

Rainer Meißner:
Hello friends! We are a german raceteam in the "German historic motorcycle championship" (Deutsche historische Motorradmeisterschaft). Our sidecar is a BMW RS 54. I´m searching for 12inch racing tyres. But...i can´t find any! Is it possible that anyone of you can help us?

Please contact us under the email: teamrs54@htp.com

What a beast !!

Didn't the (original) Mini use 12 inch tyres.
I don't know if they are faintly like what you would need,
but it could be worth looking into.
Presumably the cross-ply version ?

iansoady:
I think the original original Mini was actually 10" wheels but slightly later ones were 12". I'm sure racing tyres would be available eg

Not cheap though!

murdo:
Some modern scooters use 12" tyres.

iansoady:
Yes, but for an outfit you really want car tyres.
