Looking for some new tyres, Toyos like before if pos. ,standard size. I`m looking for rears first because they are going to go first plus usually easier to get but having no luck
225 50 zr16, like I need to tell anybody, tried tvrparts but not listing any that size, all on line avenues (that i`ve tried) saying out of stock.
Not looking forward to trying to find fronts

Anyone bought any recently.

If you are searching using tyre supplier menus, you may have to move off just 'ZR.' Searching for those you state returns no tyres at my local place, LTC.

Ratings W and Y are now the high speed choice, because ZR was just an arbitrary speed rating of 150 mph +.

W is 168 mph and Y is 186 mph. Uniroyal Rainsport 3 is available in 225/50 x 16 (92Y). In W, there are Pirelli, Continental, Bridgestone, Yokohama and Michelin.
