Looking for 125 x 12 tires for my next project

This may not be the place for this thread. I am working on my next project and I am looking for tires for the front which are 125 x 12 if someone could direct me to someone that may carry them. Here is the rim they will be on I have modified them to fit the center to the rim.

Thanks

Coker or Diamond back may have something that will work.

 

I have checked and they do not have them available. I will have to go out of the country to buy them possibly.

Contact a Fiat restoration expert. 500's (bambinos)run that size rim. tyres should be available for them.

 

Thanks !!!

Okay, I'll bite. What are you going to use them on? I think those were 16" wide 5's at one time. You obviously have too much unsupervised time on your hands Frenchy! Nice work, i have had thoughts about drilling out those rivets too and mating the centers with different rims or making the wheels wider. Cutting them to 12" has me curious? They for a midget or something?

 

even comes with a wheel.

Good luck my little O/T work car takes 12" tires and i was told they have been discontinued and all that is available is whats left.The tire that used to cost $25 dollars at wally-world now costs me 85-90 when i can find them

 

Vw nsu??????

 

Here in Holland where a lot of cars have these tyres it's also not easy to find them.
This is only thing i found :
Make is "Golden Tyre"(never heard of them), type GT 126 with 15mm WW 63S Tubetype at a whopping 73 euro including 19% tax
or the same tyre without the Whitewall 60 euro a piece.
See www.autobandenmarkt.nl

They used to be VW centers. Longstone Cl***ic tires claims they have Parelli 125X12's.

 

Thank You everyone I am building a 1958 NSU Prinz with a 2165 cc VW engine custom ch***is with independent rear suspension and 1973 transmission with 48 IDA Webbers the rear tires will be 14x6 and tub, front will be custom narrowed front end it will be something to see when done anyone who knows me my projects are different. I will post pictures as soon as I have them available. Where is Longstone Cl***ic and these are the tires I need to buy.

Thanks

Do a google on 125X12 tires, that's how I found it.

 

Motorcycle, Scooter or Midget?

 

I think stock old mini coopers were close to that ...most ran 12s..the ones i got for a customer were high performance 10s and were huge money.

 

Thank You everyone I have found them at Coker first they told me they did not carry them and now they told me they have them.

I have an older Coker catalog in the bathroom that has them. I just figured that they discontinued them when you said they didn't have them.

Glad you got it worked out.

 

I thought these were for that car....Love the pics already on the Lounge....

 

Closest I could find is a 12 " trailer tire they sell up here at Princess Auto.

They are 145R 12 though. But not a bad looking tire.

How about Coker's midget ribbed fronts? they are 12", I think 4.00 or 4.50's.

Thanks everyone for your input helping me with this. As soon as I can I will take pictures of this new project that I am working on. But for now here are a few pictures of the car and wheel .

with the way people drive in phoenix... you have bigger balls then I do...

 

Blimey! That should really shift.

 

Mini's had 10" tires. Later ones had 13"
