Longstone Classic Tires

Longstone Classic Tires, nestling at the tip of the South Yorkshire Riviera, is home to a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm for all things involved with vintage and classic car tires. Their Bawtry warehouse is packed to the rafters with weird, wonderful and obscure vintage and classic tires to fit all vehicles from Edwardian to a classic super car like a Lamborghini Countach. It is this knowledge and enthusiasm that has led to Longstone Classic Tires appointment as a distributor for the Michelin classic range of tires called Michelin Collection.

Since the birth of the motor car as we know it, Michelin have been regarded as pioneers. Be it the development of the detachable tire in 1891, the radial 'X' tire in 1946 or the classic Michelin TRX wheel and tire combination of the 80's. Not only is Michelin's continuous contribution to the development of the pneumatic tire without parallel, but their quality control of their classic tires is unrivalled.

As classic car drivers we should be thankful that the major tire manufacturers are still proud of their heritage and understand the value of fitting period tires to classic cars, after all there isn't that much call these days for a 165x400 Michelin X classic radial tire, an 820x120 Dunlop Chevron beaded edge veteran tyre, or a 525x21 Firestone vintage tire! The fitting of period tires to classic cars not only enhances their looks but, more importantly to us as drivers of classic cars, enhances the way they feel and communicate over the road.

Luckily the small band of merry gentlemen at Longstone Classic Tyres understand the needs of a classic car owner as they themselves are completely addicted! Dougal (the boss) drives a 1928 Model A Ford as his everyday steed, with a Cortina on standby if it is really raining. Simon has a Lancia Beta Coupe that has so far escaped the dreaded tin worm. Andy has a 1925 Frazer Nash.
