185/60/15" TYRES....................??

Post by Der Fudgemeister »

Simply,

Where can i get a new pair from?

Who still makes 'em?

They are to replace the vintage Bridgestone 205/60/15's on the front 7J x 15" Fuch of the 912E Fudgester.

Is there another size available close to 185/60/15?

TIA

Rick,

I replied to you on the PCGB forum with links - Avon and Michelin make 185/70/R15 tyres for classic period cars.

Hi Dick

195/65R15's are probably a cheaper option for you bud and very close in terms of correct rolling radius :wink:.
2006 RHD 997 Carrera (but DDK remains in my heart - also now no longer)
1972 LHD 2.4T with '73 2.4T CIS motor - gone to a new DDK home
1994 RHD 993 Carrera - gone!
1968 LHD 911L - was the Wife's but now in new hands :-(
