Dunlop Tires

I searched Dunlop North America tonight. To my surprise, the US OE Fitment guide lists the 2003-2004 London Taxi right after the Lexus SC430 . The guide has a product code for the 175R16 taxi tyre. Fitment guide in hand, I'm going to see how much my local Dunlop dealer wants for a 291121864 175R16 SP Taxi All Season tire.

London Fleet sold a handful of the new TXII cabs here. The new cabs start at something over $40,000 and prices go up quickly. I saw one with a Burbury interior (ick) on eBay a few months ago. Starting price was $95,000 London Fleet is doomed for the same reasons as London Coach. The Taxi is 10 times the price of an ex-police Crown Vic. The limo is nice to ride in but it isn't a driver's car. That's too bad as the TX11 is a much better cab than the old FX4.
