Selling my OG Lemmertz sprints hopefully, replacing them with a set of BBT replicas in 4.5 and 5.5. Fronts are michelin xzx 145 15s, rears are 195 70 15 michelin x but nackered, so what can i replace the rear tyres with, 195 70s are hard to source, was withking 205 65. Will also use new rears on my Flat 4 BRM wheels as well, so i keep the same set up whatever wheels im running

running BRMS now, BBT sprints will be my second choice wheel, may be taking them in px for the lemmertz, if the deal doesnt come off i still need to replace the rears as the 195 70 michelins are to old for street use, esp with my 6 yr old in the car, so will need rplacing whatever wheel im running

nice choices, but both expensive and hard to find, ive got a set of michelin xwx on the sprints atm 195 70, but they dont hold air well, and are pretty old, so wont trust em with kids in the car, was thinking bridgestone duelers

Don't take the duelers. I have them on my car but these are designed to be van tires. Way to hard and no grip.

ive found out that the michelin 206 70 15 xwx where remade a few years ago, so a part used set would be ideal, but probably will go Duelers for look and price for now, im not going to be driving it much in the wet,if at all, will mainly be a dry day car,
BRMs currently have 185s on the rear, 145s front, BBT deal is happening, so will have 145 michelin xzx on the front, rears have an old set of 205 70 michelin xwx which with my 6 year old in the car i dont want to risk, as they are old, so will replce them
BRMs will do with 185s for now, but would rather run 205 70s i think

I had duelers on my car for a while, not the best but good for every day driving and a mid 13 quarter

I've used Falken Ziex 912 for years, 205/65/15 has run a 1.56 60ft on them but usually 1.6-7 ish and did a 12.17 at 114mph. Out on the street they are great too and give me confidence. For the price i don't think they can be beaten (£66 each)
