WTB G519 Tyres

[NickP976]

I am trying to complete the restoration of two Columbia WW2 Military bicycles and need to find 4 US Royal (chain pattern) tyres, size 26x2.125, that can be posted to the UK.

I don't think the military bikes had Chain tread tire. They would have had the U.S Royal Master Centipede Grip Black wall tires.
But if you want to ride your bike There is a Cabe member that sells the chain-tread repop tires. Really good quality.
If it's just a show bike and you want it to be 100% correct the Centipede Grip tires are what you should be looking for.

Thank you for responding. If I could locate some Us Royal Master Centipede tires that would be ideal but I would think that this is very unlikely. I knew that the chain pattern were around and would be suitable.

This is what I have on my G519, but not sure who I bought them from: https://m.ebay.com/itm/US-Royal-Cha...495987?hash=item33edf39633:g:OvIAAOSwEEBaIEkQ

Thank you very very much for your response and I have managed to buy the 4 I need.
