Which size Avon CR6ZZ 15 for a MKIII

[Chilibit]

I run the 295s on the rear and they are fine. Olthoff Racing suggested that size. In fact, my second set of Avons ships out from SASCO tomorrow. I got even tire wear, easy balance and decent mileage out of the first set.

Are these avons radial type tires

[Chilibit]

Yes and DOT rated if you are here in States. Lots of discussion over the years on these tires. No one has ever complained about anything except the price. Use "AVON CR6ZZ" as a search term but get a fresh cup of coffee first.

Thanks for the quick response. I've been through many cups of coffee, but coudnt really find a "for sure" answer on the 295 size and SPF chassis. I guess, I need to measure my ride height, since I touched the tires with the inside of the finder already a couple of times. Now, I am driving the BF Goodridge 275. That was the reason for my concern.

Thanks again - and yes the damn Avons are expensive. A set in Germany runs 1600 Euros which is close to 2 Grand.

Any pictures of SPF with Avon tires?

I am surprised that you are rubbing. Mine do not even during the occasional track episode. Are they the stock wheels and offsets? As for price, a bit cheaper here and likely about the amount of the VAT. US1750 on the dock. I lived in Germany six years, your English is quite good. I could measure the clearance in the wheel well if you can be specific. My car is sitting pretty much stock in the rear.

I added a couple of pics to my profile and reading up on ride height at secondstrike.

Thanks for the compliment on my english. I used to live in Denver, CO. Lived there, loved there, raced there and then got divorced hehe.

It's been almost 10 years, since my son and I moved back to Germany. I do miss the States a lot and it felt more home than here sometimes.

The problem with some of the S-rated SUV tires ist mostly grip and speed. Since the Cobra wants to stretch her legs once in a while, I would like to be on rubber that is made for it and not 180km/h rated SUV tires. I am still debating with myself if I make the step to visit a race track with my baby - hmm. I wrecked too many cars at the Nordschleife and the Cobra should remain a keeper.

Thanks for your input - I'll go ahead and try the 295s (if they are available).
