I thought about the big letter avon's but I don't think they make a tall enough rear. Any ideas?
I have put Maxxis tyres on my GTD with the sizes ; 295/50x15 rear & 225/60x15 front. They are V rated and not expensive.The rolling radius changes slightly and the speedo reads around 4.5% lower than with the 265/50x15 that were fitted before.
They are obviously not racing compound tyres but perform well & look the part.
