So what is a person to do when you need new tires for your 9x15 and 11x15 Fuch's or other wheels? There seems to be a major shortage of tires.

Chuck, Thank-you for the input and link. Had looked at the Michelin TB tire, but was hoping for a more friendly street type tire. If there is no alterative than the TB15, what has been anyones experiance with it being used on the street?
The TB15's are great tires but on the street they will pick up small rocks and throw them under the car. They are that sticky. The price of course is stupid expensive. I had Harvey make a set of 16's to look like 15's so I could run Bridgestone RE11's which are great street tires and great on the track also and don't cost 2K. -Scott

I just mounted a set of TB on MW old car. They are expensive, like crazy, but i looked a several other brands, and decided on the TB,s best over all.

He welds in a barrel to give them the flat area that 15's have but 16's do not. You can see them in my thread towards the end. The RE11's are great tires. I'm driving the car a lot and wanted tires I didn't have to worry about the cost of using them. I love TB's also but those will stay in the garage while I beat up on the RE11's. -Scott

The tires are expensive true, but they wear much slower than the Hoosiers I was running. I think those are the only two options??? They look good

I have Michelin TB 5 & TB15 on my 2.8 RSR tribute. Perfect for me.
But there are other options:

Big Thank-you to everyone who has responded. Looks like tire selection is quite limited to more of a track compond then a street tire.
