on fuchs 15x10 and 15x11 what is the correct tire size and also braid usa is makeing these has anybody seen them thanks g w

[Harvey Weidman]

They are semi forged (cast). They look to be some of the better cast wheels. The RSR would have 9&11s not 10s.
Are you looking for street tires or race? The rear is very close if you have original RSR flairs so correct tire size is important. The front not so much.

Michelin TB in 18/60-15 for 9s and 23/62-15 for 11s is the combo that we use the most.
We used 225/50X15 and 275/40X15 in the past, but they have been out of production for a while.
Also there was a 255/45X15 for a while but they are also out of production.
The only reason that I bring it up is because you may run across some that have been stored properly.
Hoosier has some combos to use also in DOT race radial, but my experience is limited.
The ones that look good are 245/50X15 and 275/50X15. Both are tall but should fit.
The shorter 225/45X15 and 275/35X15 should also work although they may be tight on the 9s.
We have sucessfully used 225/50X15 and 245/50X15 and still do when there are some available.

Harvey:
Have you tried the Goodyear 'cobra' tires otherwise known as 'billboards'? They used to be somewhat different than the blue streaks since they were 655 compound and the blue streaks were 'firm'. They come with 9/32" tread depth, a good bit more tread than the BS too. Fitment shows 9 and 11" are max rim size.

The cobra guys seem to like them. The only strike against them is non DOT and a bit tall (no worse than the Avons).

Best part is they are 1/2 the TBs.

I have always wondered what the "Cobra" tires would work like. The specs seem a little tall, but they still may work. I have tried the tall 700X15 Blue Streak and they worked for the rears. Next time I'm at the tire shop, I'll get some out to compare.

Michelin TBs in Harvey's suggested Sizes

[912-2.8]

Thanks Harvey.

The cobras run an inch narrower than the 9 and 11 RSR rims, so a bit of the 'puffyness' would be lost I think.

Its reported that the cobra folks are getting 10-14k out of a set. Not to bad given the $250 price.

Although this is an 'absurd' question, what kind of milage range does a set of TBs typically last?
