BFGoodrich Tyres

[Monergy1]

Hi Folks,

I currently have BFGoodrich T/A tyres all round on my 1993 Dax Cobra, 215/60/16 on the front and 235/60/16 on the rear. My question is, having looked at a number of UK web sites/mags I cannot seem to find identical ones to replace them with(seems to be an odd width and profile). I wonder if anyone has the same tyre requirement and has found a good brand/make as an alternative. I intend to do little wet weather driving, although wouldn't rule it out completely. As I'm new to the game I presume I have 16 inch replica halibrands, and would I need to maintain the two different tyre widths.

Any suggestions/comments will be appreciated.

Hi Tony
You might try Northants Tyres,not sure about 16" dia. but as far as I know they can supply the popular BFG 15" dia. 60 profiles which are also difficult to obtain.
I think there may be a website but I don't know the address.

Hi Tony.
Here's the site for Northants Tyres,
http://www.northhantstyres.com/
They don't list your sizes in BF Goodrich, or anything else though.
Both sizes are available in Pirelli P6000, and the rears are available in several other makes. I can't check availability on other makes in the front size at the moment as its Sunday. Will check tomorrow and let you know.
Cheers

Thanks guys for the info,

Now I'm curious about the rims, I'll be out with the measuring stick when I'm back in Gloucester where I garage the Cobra. Maybe I've got an odd set of rims... at least I can confirm the rim widths and check my options for a different profile, 50's seem much more available. I'll try these guys once I've decided what options I've got.

Anyway I hope to get most this season out of the existing set, :P but need to build up the piggybank in time! :}

Ta again

Tony - Have a look and see if the BFGoodrich T/A have M & S on them - it stands for Mud & Snow which goes a long way towards explaining the way they behave in the wet!

I try and never take the beast out in the wet but when I have been cought out - those Comp T/A's were awful.

Now running on Toyo's

Completely different - so much better in the wet and dry.

Hi

I got my tyres from Harry at Image Wheels when I recently had my outer rims anodised
I was going to get TOYO proxes but bought the cheaper KUHMO alternative
They are far superior to the old Cooper Cobra tyres I had on which were such hard compound that they never wore downh or gripped for that matter

Tyres are F - 225/55/16 and R - 255/50/16
I think they were only about 65 quid each

Cheers
