Off topic - searching for tires

G.R.G.R.

I need to find two new 295x60rx15 all weather Performance Dunlop tires for my Cobra. I've tried Tire

Rack, Big O, Les Schwab and a couple of local dealers with no luck. I was told by Schwab that they aren't available in 15'' rim size...Big O rep even told me that they never were available in 15's...which I found real funny took the twerp outside and had him read the tire size on my existing tires...dumb ass!

 

My tires are getting old and are showing wear now, they've been on the car for almost 15 years and have had a lot of miles put on them so I figured it's time for new tires all around, finding the Dunlop fronts, 235x60r15 is no problem they are available but can't find the larger size for the back. Scwab can get them but they are in 17'' dia which for me is a no go because I have Trigo FIA knock-off wheels in 15" and really do not want to buy two new rims then have them powder coated white again.

 

Thought I'd ask here to see if any of you had an idea on where to look?

I have had very good results with the Dunlops, they handle extremely well and do not not have the tendency for the sidewalls to buckle at speed in corners like the comparable Goodrich TA's or Avons I've run do...plus they are a decent all weather tire(rain in particular).

Thanks, Gary

The car wasn't/isn't driven all that much usually only during the summer months. It did get tracked though with these tires for awhile until I bought a set of new wheels and Hoosier race tires for track use only.

Saw those, but from experience they do not last real long they have a real soft tire compound, they grip very well on the road. Not sure but I think those Hoosiers are the next ones up from the Hoosier race tire in their line of tires.
