Post 15" tyres for 9" fuchs required

I am seeking a pair of tyres to fit on a pair of 9J by 15" Fuchs.

My searches have been in vain. As far as I am told, the size that I require is no longer made.

245/40 15 would be ideal (but would consider any other sizes close to this), good used pair or new considered. Come on guys, check out the back of your garages !

I actually have one Pirelli P700 in this size, so if somebody has one this would help

Phil,

Maybe not your first choices, but Dunlop SP8000 comes in 245/50x15, Goodyear GS/CS comes in 225/50x15, Kumho Ecsta V700 comes in 225/45x15, and Hoosier, for track usage, also has 225/45x15's.

Thanks Bill, maybe the 245/50 is the best up to now, are these a standard size in the states ?, as here in the UK nobody has them. Who would you recommend to supply them ?

Not really. The only car I know of that used this size was a mid-'80s Firebird. But there's quite a few of those around, so some people are making tires for them.
What offset are those 15x9" Fuchs anyway? Could you give me the part# off the rim? Thanks -danno

I would really prefer a VR, but at the moment looks like I can't be too choosy !

The Dunlops are ZR rated, and the hoosiers exceed that I'm sure.

The 9 x 15 part number is 911 361 020 03
they have a 3.0mm offset. Good luck finding some, they go for $1000 a pair minimum.
