Title: Looking for two 145-15 Firestone F560s... Post by: Stephan S on June 01, 2010, 19:19:01 pm ... can somebody help in So-Cal?
I've called numerous VW places, and most supply Nankangs (no thanks). Couldn't find the tires elsewhere either (Performance Plus, Lucas...). Even Coker is out. Thanks!!!

Title: Re: Looking for two 145-15 Firestone F560s... Post by: Rennsurfer on June 01, 2010, 20:39:47 pm I wish you a lot of good luck finding those, Stephan... I gave up, a year ago, when I switched my BRM wheels to 356. Finally settled for a pair of 145 Nankangs. Thankfully, the newer ones had a better looking side profile compared to my old 135s.

Post by: Stephan S on June 02, 2010, 17:56:16 pm http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=974709 Bump! No more 145s from the guy above. Good used Firestone 145s welcome, too... I might consider Klebers, Pirellis or Michelins if they don't have any cracks. Thanks! Title: Re: Looking for two 145-15 Firestone F560s... Post by: GASBNR on June 03, 2010, 01:54:57 am Stephen,

If you want to trade some Tru-Spokes for some D-spokes,...maybe we can make a deal.... Title: Re: Looking for two 145-15 Firestone F560s...

Finally settled for a pair of 145 Nankangs. Anything wrong with Nankangs? The looks is not that important to me. How about grip? Title: Re: Looking for two 145-15 Firestone F560s...

(http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss104/Rennsurfer2/DKK/RedLightPCH.jpg) Other than the brand name stamp on the side of the tire, I'm really happy with them as far as performance. They grip and ride nice. In a perfect world, I'd have a set of Pirellis to match my rear ones. But since I'm on a budget, these are doing very well for me.
