Hi,

I need to find a Federal 185 x 80 x 15 car tyre for my MK2 Jaguar; bought a new set a couple of years ago and one of them has a blister on the sidewall!

Anyone know where I can get this specific size which is standard for the jag (other sizes available but no use to me!) , or has anyone got one they would like to sell?

Thanks

Fender

Personally I'd avoid Federals.

Got 4 fitted a few years back, within 2 weeks had a blister on 2, splits starting to appear in 1 and a blow out.

The garage that sold me the car and the tyres replaced 2 for free and a bleb appeared in one before it was even driven on.

Got them swapped for some Falkens, not much more expensive but a hell of a lot better.

Hi Rocky lad,

Thanks for your reply - I hadn't thought of Falkens but will check them out.
