Title: Cal-look rubber Post by: Fritte on March 13, 2006, 22:41:16 pm I am looking for some street tyres fore my backwheels...
6" Centerline and Empi 5.... any opinion out there? Title: Re: Cal-look rubber Post by: SilverPig on March 14, 2006, 09:28:58 am There really is no substitute for good old 205/70...preferably in some cool vintage style/look with white lettering. 8)
Title: Re: Cal-look rubber Post by: Jordy/DVK on March 14, 2006, 19:19:44 pm Are those Firestone F560 205/70-15 not available anymore? I thought the 205's could still be obtained.
I have had more problems with finding the 145's. I have heard that in the end of '06 another batch of these is gonna be produced. Don't know for sure though. I guess the only option is Michelin XZX 's or Nankangs for the front for a while. Title: Re: Cal-look rubber Post by: Fritte on March 14, 2006, 20:05:21 pm Toyo make 135 tyres.
But fore the rear... firestone don't make F560 145 or 205 eny more. :( who is the Firestone wide oval and mickey thompson. are they any good. they look's good :) Title: Re: Cal-look rubber Post by: Ole on March 15, 2006, 22:48:31 pm Hey Fritte,

I'm currently shopping for new tyres and these seem to be a nice option. For the front I think I will use the toyo or nankangs as the prices for 135 michelin's are 3 times higher. If anyone knows an other option, please let me know...

26x6-15 will cost you aprox. 1500 norwegian oil dollars. Oh happy day.. Title: Re: Cal-look rubber Post by: Rocket-Racing on May 20, 2006, 23:27:59 pm A little comment about the Mickeys... I run M/T Indy Profiles on my 57. Be aware that these tires are bias plies that are made with 40 year old technology. They have actually been made in the same moulds since 1966.. Great for looks, at least on the right car, and ok for driving around town. But you don't wan't these tires on a car that is driven hard or fast and absolutely not on the dragstrip.
The same goes for other vintage performance tires like Firestone Wide Ovals and Goodyear Polyglas. <---- But hey, you can't beat the look... ;D |
