Thought I might as well post my previous enquiries. See below.


Thankyou for your enquiry Steve

The 2 tyre sizes you have chosen for your Cobra Replica will make matching the tyres to make vehicle handling as balanced as possible difficult.

Most manufacturers, including Toyo will have different patterns in 225/60R15 & 295/50R15 tyres sizes.
We have only one pattern available in either size, which are both quite different.
The 295/50R15 size is only available in the Proxes ST. The Proxes ST is really designed for heavier vehicles and is likely not to provide the drive / traction you require on the rear axle of your Cobra Replica.
The 225/60R15 size is available in the TEO plus only. The TEO plus is closer in performance to what you require for your vehicle, but I would recommend a tyre with higher grip levels for this vehicle type.

Regardless of what brand you purchase, I would recommend you choose a high performance tyre for both axles, the same tyre pattern would be the best option. To do this you will need to use different tyre sizes compared to the sizes you have quoted.
Products like the Toyo Proxes T1R or Proxes R1R would be most suitable for your vehicle.


I hope this is helpful.

Trouble is he didn't really pay attention to my tyre sizing as the suggested high performance alternate tyres don't even come close in the sizes needed.

I too am awaiting feedback from the club member who is buying the 295 SUV Toyos to see what he thinks.

Failing that a matching set of Yoki 352's including 295/50 rears can still be got, but just like always, any of these 15" choice tyres are only reasonable in terms of grip level.

Cheers
