Hello Hissin





I have the Revenger GT - Did a search but I haven't been able to find any Avenger 'tires' unless by Mastercraft.

In a previous post I said that my Jetzons were T rated, but upon checking I see that the 235/60 15s are T rated and the 295/50 15s are S rated.

So far they seem to be holding up well - give plenty of notice before letting go in the dry.

However, they're the first set I've had on this car and I expect that they're really aimed at heavier muscle cars.

got mine from http://www.chapelcornertyres.com/ - Inkerman St., St Kilda

Glad to be of assistance

Maybe I read the tyre specs wrong - I'm never really sure what those numbers mean

The wheels are 'Challenger' by Performance Alloy Wheels - they are a continuation/copy of the 'Globe' or 'Daytona' used on some of the GT Falcons.

I quite like them because to me they say Ford, but ironically Ford was 'inspired' by the Ferrari Daytona according to this website:

(I have posted that link before, you have to scroll down about 5/8th of the page to get to the bit about the Bathurst Globes).

To save you some clicks here are the images

They're in SA and don't retail, however when I rang them they told me where a nearby retailer was.

They offer steel inserts (washers) for the nuts to tighten on. From memory the 15x10s you see pictured were approx $256.00 ea.

Because they're cast you don't get much (if any) choice of backspace but fortunately mine were fine for my RMC with Jag rear.

good luck

Hi Hissin,

Just purchased a set of Yokies last week, last ones around I think. There are 20 x 295/50/15's on a ship from Japan due in start of November, 225's are in stock at Yokohama.
There are other H rated tyres around such as Hankook, Avon and Toyo but may have trouble matching tread pattern.

Cheers,
Dale.

Hi Guys,

A bit off the subject, but would appreciate any help if possible.
Went chasing some tyres for my Cobra, after sending ( Well almost) my current tyres to heaven at a Corvette/ Cobra Indy Gymkhana here last Sunday.

Went to Bob Jane and others, and found my main problem to be that I have 16 inch wheels.
(R.O.H. Three piece 16 X 8 )
Bottom line is that I've found what look to be pretty good tyres, at a very good price at a U.S.A. Dealer "TIRERACK"

YOKOHAMA Avid V4s 225/55/VR16 @$95 each
YOKOHAMA Avid V4s 255/50/VR16 @$153 each
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....Model=AVID+V4S

The problem I had , is that when I tried to follow my nose on the site to get a set flown over, I get to the point where it asks for my Zip Code, and won't let me take the order any further.

Do I just e-mail direct...or phone them...or is there a way around this glitch so that I can complete the order?

Any of you guys dealt with Tirerack before?...and maybe could help me with this?

Many Thanks,

Warren Boylan.

Wazza - email this bloke:

Justin McNaughton The Tire Rack [Justin@tirerack.com]

Tell him what you need and he should send you back a a total with freight. Freight on mine was 224 USD

Cheers

They only take AMEX or bank transfer though (which I think costs about $15-$30, but the currency conversion fee on the Credit card is not too far short of that anyway)

[Wazza]

Looks like I fixed the problem.

Picked up the phone and rang direct, got a really helpful chap "Doc", and we have arranged to order via e-mail, and payment by direct deposit to their account.
(They don't take credit card payment for some reason....international fraud I guess )

Thanks anyway,

Regards,

Warren
