Title: How much is a michelin C type worth?
Post by: Bob Purton on April 29, 2009, 11:09:13 pm: The world gone mad! Â£101 and climbing for a new old stock Michelin tyre as favoured by many for there schmitts. Whats all the fuss about? They are good tyres but were never original equipment on a schmitt anyway! How much did you sell yours for Blob?

I wonder if a certain Mr Olds has anything to do with this?

Pity those catches are most likely destined for another tarts handbag!

Tenuously connected is the Honda CZ100 monkeybike.

Look how much a rear wheel made..

So with the front..

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=280332525008

We're talking 800 shekels.. Plus at least 100 to refurb/zinc them.

Just because a Michelin C is small then why should it's value be deemed cheap? They are extinct and are the best KR tyre. You won't get a decent KR for less than 12k these days anyway.

Just because a Peel is small......

Accept the new order. Or mourn the past..

It has a good traditional tread pattern as well.
