AVON DOT Radials

[Jim Holden]

Thanks.

For those that have used them on Cobras, exactly which sizes did you opt for? I would like to preserve (inso far as I can) the look of how the tires fill the fenders, etc.

Get the Avons CR6ZZ. It is one of the best improvements you will do to your handling department. Nothing better exists for 15" wheels. (245/60 x 15" at the front & 295/50 x 15" at the rear)

Avons seem to rate their sizes a little differently. The 245 might be a little too wide for the FIA. The tread width and diameter of the 225-65 is almost exactly the same is our standard 235 size.

Thanks all!

After last weekend's ERA Berkshire cruise, wife Suzanne has hidden the keys to the ERA289slabside (she did some 10 plus hours driving the little car and had a ball) and it's clear that I am relegated to the ERAFIA for all future drives. I've put on a full windshield, will swap out the old Shelby GT350 R model seat and take off the Goodyear Blue streak tires, all to make the FIA survivable on our wonderful roads here in NY.

The sacrifices one has to make for domestic tranquility...
