SiC Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I can't find any tyres in that size and in stock googling around - which is unsurprising and no doubt you've tried! What about a nearsize tyre?

Guest Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 That's a really odd size, and in past experience Pirelli only runs off odd sizes like this in batches, so can be on back order for months, and sometimes never arrive. I'd be going down to 40 profile, or even 35 which are much more common. What car is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Honda Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 They're probably for something totally un-Autoshite given the dimensions. What's the shame in mention what it's for? . Fecking CEO wank-wagon LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somewhatfoolish Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Time for some new wheels in a sensible size that allows tyres that are actually for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spike60 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 My 92 Corvette ran 275 40 17's, older models tend to be smaller diameter, newer ones lower profile. I assumed X5 etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crispian_J_Hotson Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Wasn't there something about an Michelin experimental sized rim on those or RR or both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crispian_J_Hotson Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 You can buy* some Y rated on ATS euromaster (drive slower and invalidate insurance?). Just spend £1600 odd quid only for a call on Monday saying computer says no and 'refund in 7 working days M9' etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
