Default Let's get some tires for our 15" wheels!

Cross post from PP. It was suggested we all contact tire companies to try and get some good tires produced for 15" wheels. Here's the contact info. Anyone who is interested so send an email or call!

Dunlop Tires: https://www.dunloptires.com/en-US/company/contact-us
(800) 321-2136, This is Goodyear who owns Dunlop.

BF Goodridge: Contact BFG | BFGoodrich Tires
(877) 788-0899; be persistent and ask for senior management!

Yokohama Tire: Contact Us | Yokohama Tire Corp.
(800) 722-9888, same as above.

Remember, you will likely be speaking with a customer rep whose only mission is to help you buy current tires. Ask and insist on speaking with senior sales management as they are the decision makers and advisors. You might be re-directed to another number so be patient & persistent as thats the key to success here!!

Have you Guys looked at these tires by Vredestein? http://www.vredestein.com/car-tyres/...classic/sizes/. They were made specifically to service the classic market- good product from what i've seen.

It's unfortunate that Vredestein doesn't offer a stock 15" size for Porsche in the 215/60 15"... They have the ellusive 185/70 15" though for the guys like us that want a period correct set of tires that match the sticker under the engine trunk lid...but no matching rear size...
