Attaching a spare wheel and tire on the side blade of the Super 3 might give it a bit of a vintage racing look. Like this...?! Love it! ![[Linked Image]](https://tm-img.com/images/2023/03/13/saddlebagstyre.jpeg)

In a pipe dream, one would hope that the dealers would hold stock of these unique tyres and be able to send by DHL etc to wherever you are.... in todays post brexit world, one might hope that the dealer network could operate to avoid customs delays etc I could not find the Speedmaster 20" on Avon's website... anyone tried sourcing one outside of Morgan?

Funnily enough, I sent Longstone Tyres in the UK an email asking that question earlier today! If I get a positive reply I'll let everyone know.

I was pondering buying a spare front tyre but stopped due to longevity of the tyre, how long can it be stored for until it’s of no use. Practically though ~£250 every 4 or 5 years is a small price to pay for peace of mind. Does anyone know how long a tyre can be safely stored for?

That is correct the tyres are only available through Morgan dealers and are unique to the Super 3, there is no other tyre that fits that wheel.

Hi Graeme
I see there are two Morgan dealers within striking distance on my route to the Bordeaux region so have put their numbers in my phone. There is also M3WServices in Bordeaux https://www.m3wservices.com/ Although setup to support M3Ws they could be a useful port of call if you have Super3 problems.

Practically though ~£250 every 4 or 5 years is a small price to pay for peace of mind. Does anyone know how long a tyre can be safely stored for? Those in the trade tend to recommend swopping tyres at 6 - 7 years even if they have lots of apparent wear left, even storing a spare in the dark wouldn't extend it's life (safely) by much I replace even an unused spare at 7 years as you never know when your life will depend on it

And express couriers in France and pretty rare and don't even think about ordering stuff from UK on a next day delivery to France - it will probably get stuck in Paris or Bordeaux customs for at least 10 days....and that's before you have to pay any duties due.
