[DeTomaso] New Options for 15" Tires

[Julian Kift]

>>>I am virtually certain that the TBs, and XWXs etc. are being manufacturered by Michelin's 'vintage' division in France.  While it's true that Coker does buy old molds and make discontinued tires, they are typically American (i.e. old BFG, Goodyear etc.)

I stand corrected then, maybe they just sell them http://www.cokertire.com/brands/michelin/tb5-tb15.html
 


>>>Unfortunately they don't make them wide enough for use on a GT5.
 
True, but I thought this thread originated about 295/50-15 tires, the GT5 specific thread was about brakes?

 
>>>DOT Competition tires are just barely legal when they are brand new.  However, the slightest amount of wear then puts them with insufficient tread depth.
 
I'd argue they are not legal when new irrespective of the tread depth they are stamped "Not for Highway Use"
