Hi All,

Next nightmare, mechanic visited home tonight to give me a pre inspection, says the tyres wont pass, I have looked extensively on the net and no one seems to make a tyre of similar size, stock tyres on car at moment are Goodyear GT's 255/60-15. Closest size I can find in any brand is 235/75-15 but they are 40mm narrower and may not fit the rim bead width, they need to be the same circumfrence.  I need to check with experts tomorrow.

If you have stock rims please tell me what tyres you have.

Thanks, Dennis.

On my 69 I had 255/60-15s all round and didnt have a problem! It may be different in Qld? What makes him think they wont pass? They were standard on 82's I think which is virtually the same as yours!

Yokohama or Sumitomo make them in your size.

I read it wrong, I thought you meant they wouldnt let u pass on that size tyre! Aussie tyre dealers usually dont have that size on the shelf! Can U up to buying from the US (they are swimming in that size!)?
