Looking for NZ 350-1 tires

Post by DARIVS » Thu Sep 16, 2010 2:17 am

Does anyone know where I can buy new tires that are made in German which are similar to the original tires for a DKW NZ 350-1? I know they are 3.25x19 in size. I can't find old style tires.

I bought a set of 3.25x19 German Metzeler Block C 3.50x19 from Craig,also get two new Metzeler tubes for your tires. He carry mainly Bmw krad parts,but these tires are top notch, pre 1955 style good luck
i noticed he has some more types of german tires for sale now,but i got the c block type.

Thanks!

I ordered two 3.25x19 Heidenau tires, which seem to have a tread pattern more similar to the WWII tires than the Metzler tires:

Hello Darivs,

The Tchech factory Mitas e07 has almost the exact same profile as used for the NZ during the war
They are cheap and very good for street and field-riding.

Her some pictures as sample, the color-picture is from the magazine "Signal", distrubated during the war.

www.iTyre.com sells Mitas E-07 tires. However, they do not ship to the United States. :(
