Dunlop D40 tyre - are they original spec for Series 2 ?
I have just found an RS Turbo wheel with a 195/50/15 Dunlop D40 SP Sport tyre in the back of my garage - forgot it was there ?
Am I right in thinking this is an original spec S2 tyre ??
It looks unused as the tread is superb - is it worth anything ?

Hi Guys, RS 1600is were Dunlop D4s & S1 Turbos were Michelin mxv tyres this i am 100% certain of , i believe though not certain S2 had D40 tyres & nct 50 tyres depending on the year.

The tyre might be to the concourse boys.

Right Chaps, NcT50 were early S2, D40s(195x50x15) were later S2 & Uniroyals were later S2 as well.

If they are the original mxv tyres ie not mxv2 etc , then for a reasonable worn one about 50 each to a S1 owner, new ones make Ł200 each. D40 depends on size, as 3dr cosworths had d40s, but next size up from the s2.
