Mark, I forgot: your car looks awesome! Can you make another post and tell a little bit about her? And more pics, please...

Hello,

A good friend of me told me he tried the new Pirelli P7 Corsa classic on his 3.0 RS and he was very happy.

I've looked at these as well. Too bad there is not a good size for the 9" rims. The 235 is just a tad skinny, and the 265 is too wide.

I love the tbs -- mushy sidewalls, kicking up every little piece of sand and all... mounted on 7r fronts and 8.5 minilite rears

Hi Jack:
Thank you for the complement but your RSR is pretty amazing itself and the Fuchs look amazing! I love the action photo, on the jack with the tire off!

Sorry, I cannot be of any help, but holy crap lets see more photos. And some details. The car looks awesome

+1 on that

Interestingly my 72 has a set of 'full tread' TB5's:







My TB5's will need to be replaced shortly, so its a shame to discover that the TB15's have thinner side walls - anyone know a source for the 'full tread' TB5's which I assume are no longer in production?

Thx
Martin

Mark,
The Michelin's are the best out there for 9s and 11s wet or dry. IMHO
I have tried many rain grooved slicks and until the TB's became available wet driving was not very good.
I have found the TB's are even better than the old Yokohamas or Pirelli P-7s that we used in the past....
Remember anything that wide will hydroplane easily...

I finally bit the bullet and put TB15's on my ST and I've got to say, they look great and perform even better! Prior to my last Treffen trip, I installed new suspension, brakes and tires...the difference is AMAZING!

The tires are scary in the rain though. Keep it UNDER the speed limit if the roads are wet.

Chris, lets see a wide angle shot. Looks great!

Kinda rules them out for use here. If they are scary in the rain, I can't even imagine how they'd be on frosty roads! :P
