Reply to "Tires for 15" wheels"

Pirelli manufactures batches of old tires at the request of manufacturers, clubs etc, from time to time. I believe I also read somewhere that Pirelli announced they would begin stocking certain old types & sizes of tires. The classis car craze is big business right now, both in the US and in Europe. You may want to check with Pirelli regarding their classic car tires.

The biggest supplier of obsolete tires among the classic car crowd is Coker Tires. They can manufacture just about anything, I don't know what their minimum quantity is however. I would advise contacting Coker, getting the facts from them, and then working with a vendor to order a batch. This is another area where the vendors are not meeting the needs of the Pantera owner seeking to keep the car 100% oem. They have chosen to instead stock Campy clones in larger sizes.

If we want the vendors to help, to stock the parts we need, we owners have to stop bitching about prices. These guys have to make a living.
