A Tyresome Topic

I'm moving into full speed panic mode to get the TVR done for BBWF so...

The only place locally that has tyres to fit the 14" solid wheels is Demon Tweeks who want about £50 a corner for Yoko S306's the problem is they're only H-rated (130mph) and allegedly the Tasmin will go to 133mph though i doubt this will ever happen.

mytyres.com dont list them any more, they did about 6 weeks back. Are there any other mail order tyre people around?

The other option is to go for some aftermarket/15" latice alloys and tyres. I know I need 112PCD but what offset are they and whats the recommended rim width (at a guess 7") and tyre size?

I could always put on some Cerb wheels i guess :hehe: :paperbag:

Thanks in advance
Regards
Iain

Know what you mean about panic, beginning to wonder if Peninsula will ever ring me back

I rang round a few places locally and most could get the right sized tyres. Although as it not a common size now, no one could supply a known quality brand. I've ended up fitting Champiro (or something like that) to the spare wheel.

I've still got a set of telcast wheels with 205/14 '89H' Falkens on them. Tyres are as new.


You can have the whole lot for a hundred quid.

I'm just about to get my Cross spokes (on the 280) refurbed. They have H rated tyres on too.
