Hey guys I just bought a 1985 with a factory 491 package. She's a neat car. 59k miles, 1 owner, far from perfect from, but a true survivor, original unrestored car except for one thing... She wears gold BBS wheels. I can't stand the wheels. I bought replica Fuchs EuroMeister in the stock sizes.

I can't find tires in a 245/45/16 and 205/55/16. I'm looking for a set of street tires that match. If anyone can help me out I'd be very grateful.

Thanks - Johnny

I got these from Coker Tire. I was not able to find them at Discount Tire or Tire Rack. The salesman at ext. 251 (866-666-1077) was very helpful. Bill

Check out the Toyo Proxes and Fuzion tires.

Yeah guys the fuzion is discontinued, that's what I was looking for based on earlier posts.

Thanks to the poster that recommended Coker tire.

does anyone have experience with these?

Thanks for all the help!

The Tire Rack has the ToyoProxes R888 in stock.

Remember now, the R888's are DOT-R race tires and while OK for street use, hardly the best choice for anyone who is not doing track days.

I haven't checked for awhile, but Bridgestone did offer the Re-11's in 205/55 & 245/45-16.

EDIT: TireRack HAS a few RE-11A's in stock and on sale. There again seems to be issues getting these/finding out if they're still in the catalog, could use a pair of the 205's myself. I've got Hancook's in this size also, but can't remember the model.

There's an Avon historic model in this size now, but I can't find a dealer with them anywhere and I'm sure they're a fortune. I'll ask the guys at the shop where they got a set on Friday.

Yeah I saw the Proxes "track day" tire at tire rack. I'm looking for a street tire. This is a car that I will "sunday drive" and take on some extended road trips. She won't see the track.

Has anyone used these Michelins?

they appear to have been built for this car.

Coker has them in stock.

Y'all see any reason that I shouldn't buy them?

Thanks a million for everyones help. I'm a noob here and did not expect so much help/response. Super grateful.
