I think Vintage Tyres( vintage tyres.com) are slightly cheaper than Longstones for TB's
Re: Tyre size recommendations for 8 and 9 x 15" wheels
Some great feedback on the tyres and promising that there is a little more choice than I originally thought. Think the Toyo 215/235 50 x 15 looks the most promising combo at the moment, will post some pics in due course, great info, thanks

Hi, in case some more pics helps with your decision. Here is my own car which we restored a few years ago now and fitted Avon 215/60 and 245/60. They are a bit large at the back but suited the look we wanted to create.

Thanks Alan. I've been liaiding with Scott re. Your wheel refurbishment services, I've decided on the rsr finish and will be dropping my wheels off in the next couple of weeks.

Got these 285Yokos and 295 TBs for 11" rims on my RSR. 9's on the front seems more of a problem.
