>>>Yokos in the proper 285/40 and 335/35 sizes are made every few years in
tiny batches. I don't know if they ever allocate any to the USA, although
I do know they go to Europe, and maybe Canada. Several Pantera guys in
Europe have purchased stocks of them, including Kjell Janssen in the Swedish
club. He might have a few left. I think Roland Jackel is able to get onto
the Yokohama website and see what the existing stock is, and he can get
them?

and 335/35-15 and both are available from Coker Tire and Summit.

Having said that, a Gr4 car with taller race tires (like Royden's) looks
pretty tough too!
