Has anyone got ideas on where to source Michelin TB tyres for 15 inch Fuchs rims?
I need 225/50 R15 79V and 270/45 R15 86W
Have tried the well known suppliers such as Longstone, Vintage etc but they say there are none in stock anywhere. Apparently, Michelin may start making some in March but not certain.
Or an alternative brand even.
Please!

Follow up:

Failing to find any Michelin TBs I eventually got Nankang AR1s from Demon Tweeks . Fronts the same size and rears slightly lower profile.
Seem to perform well once warm but have no experience in the rain. Yet.

hey up

yep just got my first delivery for a while yesterday.

i havent got the 23/62-15 (the 270 one) but i do hope to get them in soon. I have just placed another order and havent as yet been told what is coming. However we do have the 18/60-15 in TB15 and TB5F

what size rims have you got on the back? we have got the 26/61-15 TB15 now as well which is a 295/40-15 we have that in TB 15. TB5R coming soon. what rim width have you? the 26 does 10" - 11.5"

Is it actually a rally car because recently we have been flogging loads of the 285/40-15 Cinturato P7. that fits 8"=10" rims, but is a better road tyre.
