Original VW Canada Tire

Anyone have interest in this as a spare? (wouldn't want to drive on something this old).

6.00-15,

Hi Marty!
Goodtimes at Guildford VW!  Life was so much easier then!
Remember Tom in sales that had a light blue golf diesel?  He works for Coast Mountain Bus Company.

Dwayne, Rudy, John Wallace and Tim in the parts department.

The good old days eh Shawn ?

I remember a set of NOS turtleback rims sitting in the storeroom above the parts department , Heinz told me I could have the set of 4 wheels for $135.00 . Wish I had a time machine .

Goodyear Tire in Medicine Hat, Alberta made tires for VW as well.  Labelled Volkswagen Canada, they had a VW motif all around the sidewall of the tire...summer tread I'm talking about.   Still have a couple of never used spares that are fun to have around.
