Allright, I'm extremely interested. I've got 15x11 fuchs and the smallest tires I can find are 345's which don't fit real well in the fenders. Where did you get these?!!! Those are 11" fuchs right?

yep. I got them from a firm over here in the UK called longhurst tyres. Ill dig the number out if i can. the tyres above are 290/40/15's (or 26/61/TB15) there is a bigger size (335/35/15 or 29/61/TB15) but it dont look as good as this size on a 11x15. they aint cheap though. these two puppies cost me £540 or $1000 in your dosh! and i suppose there wioll be some shipping too if you can't get them in the states.

I just paid $640 for my 2 back Pirellis. Being as they have less than 200 miles on them I guess I'll just have to wait to make the switch.
I would have gladly paid the extra for a better fit. Congratulations on a great find!

heres a link to longstone tyres website.

it lists all the available sizes for the TB range and all the other tyres it does too.

Be warned though, these TB's only have 4mm of tread depth and are VERY VERY VERY sticky. Im trying not to think too much about how long they will last!

good luck

Andy

spoke to someone today who said that michelin are going to release these tyres in different compounds next year.
