Interesting reading on tires for wide 15 inch wheels

[Shaun @ Tru6]

I've been on a serious hunt for information on track tires for 9x15 and wider Fuchs. A very nice Pantera board member hooked me up with a friend in Sweden.

Here is his website and page bookmark for tires. Great reading.

hmmm, works on my Camino for Mac.

Here's a more basic link:

Wow, what an interesting site. This guy is some fabricator....making his own clutch and other components on his "turner".

As you might know I have the Gotti 3 piece 9s and 11s, also common on Panteras. My street tires were reduced to Pirelli P-Zeros and Yokohamas. Not sure what's available now.

Thanks for the link Rick, yup, tweens are the hottest things going. these girls are everything we don't want to be, except super rich that is. Times are tough right now, but look very bright if a few key things come into play in February. Big model photoshoot tomorrow to redo g9girl.com with a younger motif, huge trade show in Vegas feb 14-17, and the business plan is nearly done. We'll see. I'm certainly not looking at GT3s any time soon!

I love this quote: "We are very thankful that we are able to enjoy our college experience, run a business, and live our lives," said Mary-Kate.

Like they are actually running their own business!

Speaking of! Where are we gonna get replacement tires for those big 15" rims. I'm running 345's on the rear on 15X11. Luckily the tires are brand new yokohamas but once they are done then what? Any ideas?

I've been running the P-Zeros and have been happy. I don't think they'll be going away too soon....well I hope not at least.

Goran, the fellow who has the Pantera site, apparently can readily get Avons to fit our 15s and hand cut them.

I've got an email into him.

Are P-Zeros still available? I have not seen them advertized in a long time.
Another serious problem with the availability of large 15" tires is age. Even if you score a never used set of Yokos. They stopped making them over two years ago.

I heard a rumor (was it here?) that Pirelli will be producing a run of Pzeros in these sizes later this year.

FWIW here's some of Avon Tyres' sizes, though they're not for street use.
