VTS offers new Dunlop Aquajet size

VTS is now offering 185R15 Dunlop Aquajet tyres. Following some subtle changes to the tyre’s construction, the tyre technicians responsible for the [re]creation of this classic product have reportedly been able to increase the maximum speed capacity of this tyre from 130mph to well in excess of 150mph (240km/h) enabling the tyre to once again be v-rated. This is particularly good news for any six cylinder E type Jaguar owner. It now also comes with a reduced price of £149.00 + VAT.

It was because of the special relationship between Dunlop and Jaguar back in the 60s that brought about the birth of this tyre, when the Dunlop Aquajet pattern was fitted as original equipment on all new E Types from 1968. Earlier E types were of course fitted with Dunlop cross-ply tyres and the 185VR15 tyre is said to be the “perfect replacement for those owners wishing to upgrade.”
