Hi, I am a new member. I love Pontiacs and have had many over the years. I live in the Sunny Okanagan, B.C., and have a 1960 Pontiac Catalina 2-door hard top and a 1960 Pontiac Ventura 2-door hard top that I am in the process of doing a frame-off. Finding parts for these big American cars is very difficult in my area. I have found an ad for a pair of 850 x 14 Dominion Royal Master Tires at Florence Ontario that I want for my Pontiac, they are just south of Petrolia in Southern Ontario. As I live in B.C. is there any member in this vicinity of Ontario that could possibly look at these tires for me? Bob

Thanks 57 Poncho, for the reply. I lived in Portage La Prarie as a youngster and moved to B.C. I enjoy the winters out here much more! Love you wagon. Bob

Bob also used to own the 60 Catalina that I had. Is there anyone near Petrolia who can check out these tires for Bob? I'll changed your title to bring attention to folks in that area Bob..
I live in Petrolia and Florence is about 20 minutes away.
I don't mind going to look at these tires for you, but I'm not sure what I'm looking for. Are they very old ? Is there a way to tell how much life is left on tires like these ?
So, if any/all of you can give me some hints/tips on what to look for, I'll certainly go check them out.
Scott I have been looking for a set of Dominion Royal master tires for my car. I came across an ad on the Sarnia Kijijji ,and a have been told there are a lot of scams on this website. These tires were made in the early to late 60's, so wanted to see if this was a reputable seller and that he actually had the tires he says he has .If I made arrangements with him for a viewing time would it be possible for you to look at them for me.He doesn't have a picture of them on the ad or to send me so I am a bit wary that it may be a scam. If you could look at them and possibly send me some pics of the tires it would be appreciated. Bob

Hi Thanks for the response. I had a yellow 1962 Parisienne 2 dr ht in 1964 , 6 cyl auto, a slow car but beautiful to look at. Had a 1963 Parisienne 2 dr ht in 1966, 327 250 hp auto, aqua colour, another nice car, have always loved and thought the Ponts were the best. Your 1962 sounds like a nice car ,any photos available Bob

In the early 60's had a girl friend whose parents had a 1960 Parisienne Wagon with the 2 tone brown paint scheme and had a set of the Royal Masters on it . The interior had the brown cloth material, a killer wagon absolutely beautiful with the 283 auto.

todd I saw his for sale ad in Kijijji, but he wouldn't send any pics. My daughter said there are a lot of scammers on this Kijijji website which made me feel uneasy about the whole ad. Thats why I wanted to have someone in the area check it out before I made any Commitment $ wise. I'm in contact with Scott from Petrolia who was kind enough to offer to view them for me .You have made contact with a great group of car fanatics, wish Doug Bendle had the same circulation with the SOS. Maybe he does nowadays as I haven't been in contact with him for quite a while as he has no answering machine whenever I call never seems to be in .He is a great guy , but may be like myself, not too knowledgable with the computer so doesn't have a site like yourself.

I know this guy. His name is Wayne Chapman. He's a good guy and a straight shooter. I have seen some of the tires and would have to say they are near new. Don't forget the fact they are Bias-ply so you will sacrafice ride, but it's worth it for the look.
67 HEAVEN I would have the tires mounted on an extra set of wheels strictly for show, as I know these tires are OLD. I also have a '56 Chevy that I just purchased at Casco Michigan last month. An original unmolested 265 V8 power glide that I am presently collecting standard transmission parts for a 3-speed collumn swap. Here's a couple pics of it. Bob
