Berkeley T60 Tyres
- The Berkeley T60 with its three-wheeled quirkiness originally fitted 520 - 12 crossply tyres. If you want a crossply the 5.20 x 12 Camac is the best option currently made.
- If you want a whitewall crossply tyre we can offer the 5.20 x 12 B.F.G Whitewall, however we suggest switching to radial tyres.
- A close radial equivalent size to 520 - 12 is 125 R12, this size allows for the fitment of the excellent 125SR12 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN54.
- Michelin's 125 R 12 Michelin X would also be a great B95 or B105 tyre.
- If you wanted whitewall tyres the 125SR12 CINTURATO CN54 Whitewall offers the whitewall look without compromising performance.
- The best fitting Berkeley T60 innertube for these tyres is the Michelin 12C.

History of the Berkeley T60
Berkeley's T60 three-wheeler debuted in September 1959. It was an instant success in the United Kingdom since three-wheelers could be operated with a motorcycle licence and were thus appropriate for a biker with passengers. Three-wheelers are significantly less expensive to buy and operate than four-wheeled vehicles. Thus, when it was first released, the T60 cost just £400, or £7780 in today's money (September 2021), making it reasonable for the time. The T60 was a big hit. Its creator, Laurie Bond, was one of England's most successful mini-car designers. Bond participated in mountain races in the 1940s, which led him to design a light 2-seater roadster with a fibreglass shell, a 2-stroke engine, and front-wheel drive.
