New Rear Tires!!

[Guest Fast Frog]

OK dudes:

 

I've, absolutely, got to get new rear tires!! Got no tread or even signs of any tread. When I purchased the rear tires 5 yrs ago, the only tire that had the dimensions I wanted were Dunlop SP 8000 245/50ZR/15.

 

What I'm looking for in dimensions are: as close to 25" in dia as possible and 9.5"-10" tread width. Also, something in a hi performance street tire with a growth ratio of 3.0 to 4.0 and a traction rating of 1.5-1.6. Any ideas???

RE 71's are on a huge sale now, 730's might be a better choice at more $ though

Fast Frog,

 

As Mike Kelly pointed out 15" tires are getting harder and harder to find. BF Goodrich makes wide 15" tires in the Radial TA line and I believe the Euro TA line.

 

Since I will be running 15" wheels I have been doing some searchs on available 15" tires and the options are limited. If you look around though they can be found it will just take some time.
