225/50 ZR 15

[Jasper Gilder]

Anyone know anyone who still makes tyres in this size and speed rating?

Toyos don't do ZR and virtually no -one else does the size. Even the good folk at Micheldever are stumped and suggested coming down a speed rating which I don't really want to do for the sake of originality

Any thoughts out there?

W rated tyres are good upto 168mph - isn't that enough

Not sure which model you are talking about but my 400SE currently has ZR rated tyres on but the handbook says that VR is spec'd. Therefore Toyo T-1R's are going to be my next fitment.

You're absolutely right Dave - my 400/450 handbook specifies VR, however, the factory 400/450 brochure specifies ZR. I've always used the latter.

There's always R888s or A048s.

Hankook Ventus and Michelin Pilot ( not cheap )
