Tyres for you Veteran, Vintage, Classic & Hot Rod

Old World Lamps & Tyres is a 100% Australian Owned Company. We source tyres from all over the world and do our best to retail them to our fellow enthusiasts at a very competitive price. We have a very strong relationship with Lucas tyres, in the US. They make and supply a large range of tyres including tyres with the original Australian and Olympic & Dunlop tread patterns.

We stock a large number of tyres sizes and can readily supply a huge ranger of tyres from 10" through to 37"" in both Cross Ply and Radial format.

We specialise in Australian Tread patterns for older cars, primarily the original Australian Olympic & Dunlop treads sourced from Lucas Tyres. Hot Rod Tyres and wheels tailored to you specifications are an item we pride ourselves on being able to assist you with, so please email us or give Russell a call 1300 854 324.

New High Pressure tyres in Australian tread patterns

In the 1980's and again in the 1990's the Australian moulds for high pressure tyres were purchase by both Stan Lucas (Lucas Classic Tyre) and Harold Coker (Coker Tires).

Since establishing Old World Lamps & Tyres over a decade ago, we have been working to have as many of the original tread patterns re-established and thankfully Lucas has been listening. Unfortunately the word Olympic is not available as this trade mark is still owned by Dunlop who purchased Olympic in the 1980, now owned by Goodyear. However this has not stopped the use of the moulds and treads and today we are proud to have over 15 Australian treads in use, all stocked by us for supply to the Australian & New Zealand market.

From the Wards 30 x 3 (24") 30 x 3 1/2 (23" Beaded Edge clincher) in both Black and White through the:

Brass Stem Tubes

We have always stocked a limited supply of brass stem tubes mainly in 28 x 3" and 30 x 3 1/2". With many requests recently and knowledge that no one else is really carrying this line we have extended our range to include:

30 x3"
710 x 90
23"- 25" Small combo
23" - 25" Large Combo
880 x 120
26" x 500/600
Michelin extra heavy duty 810 x 105 - 880 x 135 combo

Brass Stem tubes are more expensive than rubber however these are better suited to the high pressure and Beaded Edge tyres.
