Hello,

what is the profile you need? In the site 'Gommadiretto', a very good online tire retailer, 205/65 15 tires are dozens and start at £55 each....

Cheers

Stefano

Default Tyres for V8 's

Hi,
Longstone tyres who support our magazine by advertising in it, have a great selection of rubber for our cars.
I chose to reshoe my 407 with Michelin X as they were around in 1962, they give a super ride and do not tramline like the Avon Turbo speeds or Dunlop's originally fitted.
Do not be tempted to put cheap Taxi tyres on a V8 as they are not speed rated for any V8 and you could find yourself uninsured.
On this forum you will find plenty of info on tyres for our cars.
Welcome to the club.
