Hmm they are the Vredestein tyres, so they are a slightly different shape.

Re: this only just includes you guys.

There wasnt a tyre that suited these cars other than the XWX. Longstone Tyres got Pirelli to make the 185/70VR15 ...

Re: Tyre recommendations for a 356A

well that actual tyre there has cost thousands and thousands. at present that will possibly be one of the most expensive tyres you have ever seen. however that cost hopefully will be spread out among the actual production when it comes out so they shouls be more sensible, along with the rest of the ...
