Default Olympic tyres

Hanno and all

A few years ago I rang Olympic tyres sales dept. they told me they cannot export to overseas because the OLYMPIC name is owned by the OLYMPIC games commitee outside of Australia . Olympic tyres was founded by Frank Beaurepaire in the 1930's in Australia , it is now owned by Pacific Dunlop .

MRF is a huge company based in India , they make all sorts of stuff like cricket bats , they are not associated with OLYMPIC tyres in any way .

I asked about OLYMPIC 900-13 sand grips last year at my local tyre dealer , he quoted them at 290 each , but another source says they are out of production .

The ad below is from a Melbourne newspaper July 1942
