Ken,

Why don't you post those contacts on the 'Exchange?

How many Hen owners do you know of in the U.K.?

Hello Chris , depends on the size of your wheels , I believe early KJ may have had 19 inch rims which took 400 x 19 tyres , same as Deluxe but more common they are 450 x 18 , mine has the latter and the only 450 x 18 I could find were Coker tyres , from America , I have a contact address that supplies them in England but you can get them direct from the states probably , I use 400 x 19 on my Deluxe and use either Barum or Mitas also know a contact in England , I prefer the 400 x 19 as they are about a quarter of the price of the Coker but am not going to change me 18 inchers on the KJ , let me know if you want the English contacts , best of luck , Ken
