Wild willy vs Sand scorcher tyres

[mr_lister999.]

Seeing an auction on ebay recently for some new wild willy tyres i wondered what the difference was because usually people say scorcher tyres as that sells them better. It wasnt until i got hold of a pair of superchamp sponge tyres i looked on the box and noticed the difference. Willys tyres say Sand Tyres Unlimited. Scorcher ones have Padlatrak and 16.50-15 as well.

Just wanted to share that one incase any of you didnt know so you can see if they are scorcher or willys tyres. I think it was volksrod68 who bought them. If it was you, Joe, then did you know about that?

I suppose you know that Wild Willy and Sand Scorcher tires are VERY different in size, and truely not interchangeable?

Sure there are big differences between the two, the first one is the diffrent tires size, the WW are bigger and won't fit on a SS, the second one is 4 sure the writing....

You have to look always carefully to avoid to be scammed from sellers that looks only at money. [!]

Just my .02

But still VERY different from the Wild Willy.

i had no idea on size since i never actually seen a wild willy in real life. From the photo on ebay they looked like the scorcher size but the writting on the walls was missing. At least i know now.

WW is much bigger than someone thinks by looking at in the catalogue, propably due to the resemblence with the SS tires, I also thought the same, till I saw one in a hobby shop in 84, aaahhh the good ol' days... [8)]

WW/BB tyres were sold in a polybag.

SS tyres are in a colourful box.

The wheels are also very different... [:I]

[volksrod68]

yep, it was me [8D]

was quite happy with the price for the 2 new tires, 17 quid.

they are very different, have a look at snetterton, willy tires next to ss tires.

u'll see the major difference.

would like to see some willy tires on a ss tho......
