All Fuchs before the flat 6 (4.5 x 15, 5.5 x 15, 5.5 x 14, deep 6) were tubed rims.. The valve hole is a shaped to take a tube valve, and not a standalone valve, also they have no hump to prevent the tyre coming off the rim in case of a puncture.

Early flat six (ending in 00) accepts 3-prong centre cap, later version (ending in 10) accepts the 'ring' type centre cap

Thanks Andy I now know I have flat sixes fitted thought it was funny that Longstone did mention it when they fitted the set of CN36 the other week

Hmm
I would like to point out that when you ring up Longstone Tyres and ask what is the best tyre for your car we sell all the top brands of classic tyres and make a recommendation from that selection of tyres that we have to offer.
We have now had the German article about classic Porsche tyres translated and it is on this page and well worth reading
http://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/page/cl ... sche-tyres
translations are tricky so the German one is also on there.
