Tyre Sizes?

[tvr4ever]

I can only agree with Steve. I have S03's on my 4.3 Griffith (205 front, 245 rear), car handles like a dream. The tramlining averyone is talking about comes probably from a not properly alligned car, or nackerred suspension bushes.

I've not got any particular objections to the SO3's, because I've never used them. I'm just comfortable with the SO2's, and as I already have them on the front, so I thought it'd be good to have a full set if I could get SO2's for the back.

My issue was the way the original tyre dealer dealt with my request for a quote.

Chessington Tyres in Farnborough got mine in about 5 working days. The number is: 01252 511291.

Hope this helps,

Dan.

Dan thanks for the number. However he said that the sizes i need are not made only s01 again??

I think i need (PAS) 215/50/15 & 235/50/16.

What size are you running??

Thanks for your help

TVR changed the tyre sizes more times than Porsche have said that putting the engine overhanging the rear wheels is a really really good idea and does wonders for the handling...

TRy fitting a 225/50ZR15 and a 245/45ZR16. Available in S03s and S02s if you can find them.

Covered in the bible's tyre chapter.

Have you tried the tyre finder advert on here?

Otherwise I have used Roadwheel (who used to be in Bagshot just off M3J3 and are now in Fleet) for a number of years and they've always been pretty good. I've just confirmed they have two fronts ready for me for tomorrow morning...

Oh and SO3s? Don't know what all the fuss is about! Well, I didn't until Steve Heath, Gentleman of this Parish, enlightened us to it being some stupid urban myth....
