86 bentley tyres

hi all we need new tyres for the turbo what type and how much been told 265 a tyre does that sound right

[Balmoral Green]

If it has it's original 15" wheels, you will need the Avon Turbospeeds, and they are expensive. As far as I know, there aren't any alternatives. If it has had a wheel/tyre upgrade, and it has 16", 17" or even 18" wheels, then you should have a full choice of sizes across several premium brands for £150-£200 a corner.

It might be worth looking on e-bay for a set of later wheels?

I recently bought a couple of Contis for mine 235/70x15 for £120 ( the pair )

there are, however, a number of alternatives available. try black circles of my tyres on the web.

make sure you get the right speed/load rating.

Warren, I'm still interested in that spare set of yours - will get back in touch when I return to blighty

Are you running these on standrd Turbo R rims? If so, how do you find them - 235 instead of 255 seems a bit on the small side.

the car is a Mulsanne turbo, but it's got Trubo R rims.

I've found tham great actually - the extra sidewall height really improves the handling, probably at the expense of outright grip, but it's just not that kind of car anyway.

trying some more just as soon as I've got the front subframe back on !
