[DeTomaso] Tire size needed 285/40r15

[Jerry Knotts]

I am sure this discussion has been in the last few months but I cannot 
find the messages in my history file.

I have a front tire splitting in the tread on my 71 GT-5 replica. It is 
a 285/40 ZR15 Yokohama AVA AV1-40.  I understand this particular Yoko is 
out of production for some time, but I need to replace it or get 2 new 
matching Front tires.

If memory serves they are available in Europe.  I don't remember where.  
I have found a set of 285/40r15 Michelin VHC for 387 lb sterling, I 
don't particularly like the tread for the street.

At this point the Z rating is not a requirement for my driving of this car.

Anyone have current info on this size availability?

Thanks in advance,
jerry knotts
