Shubee... I wish you well on finding that tire.

Michelin will sometimes do very limited runs on those old style tires. But they're extremely hard to locate in the States. I know that Citroën, Renault, and a few other small European cars still require the smaller tires that we like. Especially down in Australia and other select countries. Try contacting these guys: http://www.vintagetyres.com/ They're a great source for hard to find tires. In fact, I was able to find some cool varying small sizes on that site by doing a Michelin search on it. Another option would be to contact Michelin and kindly ask them if they would be willing to furnish some companies in the States (to save on shipping costs) that sell the size(s) that you're looking for. That tire company does a great job at offering a wide range of tire sizes. Hopefully, they or someone else can direct you to the one that you need.

Is your new avatar that picture that I took of your car almost thirty years ago? Either way...looks cool!

When I ordered my 145 XZX's from Coker a little over 2 years ago, they arrived as 135 ZX's!! I was pissed, but they sent me the right pair in the end. I take it Coker is out? Skinny tires are getting hard to find these days Sad

Speedwell, that's a great link for parts, etc. Trouble I find is that, although they have items that I can use, they will not ship to the USA. Darn!
