Availability of 15" wide tires for 11" fuchs!

Post by twinpluggedtarga »

What is the availability like for reasonable performance street tires for 9" and 11" Fuchs?
Has it all dried up or are there still people out there making them?.
Prefer European distributors if possible
Thanks

Yokohama occasionally remake a small batch of 285/40 tyres but they are all sold out within days.

The only other option is the Michelin TB15 tyres:

Thanks for the info, after posting I did manage to find a link on Pelican Parts for the Michelin classic tires.
However I believe they are extremely sticky and wearing!
Thanks

Why else would you want 9" and 11" rims for?
