Have you asked Dunlop? They do the odd batches every now and then, I know they did some Spit ones..

nut loose
Dunlop have told me they are not going to make them again

, Didn’t the one at.Brunty fly in airworthy a year ago or so, could you not do a swap?

Nut, closed at present due CVD.....

I think he mostly supplies instruments, but you could try GB Air Spares: Great British Aircraft Spares He might know of another source if he doesn't deal with these items himself.

You could try contacting Ken at the Norwegian Air Force Historical Squadron. They operate two Vampires, so may have contacts for tyres.

On those lines there are a whole list of current operators who might have one they could spare. Some, such as Lebanon, may be more willing to sell than others.
