Ya, i know this is a real long shot, but figured i'd try. I would like to find a set of decent tires to run on the trx's for my 81 cobra. I know it's not likely, but would like to find a set of used tires that are not dry rotted and still have some decent tread on them. At this point i'm not ready to spend what set of new tires would cost on this car. Got new tires on ten holes on it right now, but would love to be able to take it to shows with the trx's.
Thanks
Kerry

Thanks. I'm active member there too. I have the same ad listed at fep also. I did get one pretty good lead over there from a guy from canada that has a set that he says are in mint condition. Looks like a good prospect. He is suppose to be in Toledo in about a month so going to check them out then.Originally Posted by 86-TC/SVO
EDIT: just realized the link you posted was probably for the guy that has all the trx stuff for sale. I pm'd him about selling just some tires. Having a problem getting logged into fep right now.

Ya, i have looked at Coker site and seen them. Not willing to spend that much per tire. You would think that they would atleast try to be somewhat reasonable on the price for folks that are now restoring these cars.

Wow, I wasn't ready for that price.
ouch!! and i'm cryin about needin truck tires.. seriously, who's the genius who fit a 15.355" rim on a Ford? at that price i'd be stretchin' some 15s around themsumbitches..
I know. That's why I found the Riken's for my 84 GT (Post #30 http://www.steelcitystangs.com/forum...ad.php?t=21695). I didn't want to spend that much for the tires either.

Someone should re-make those rims in a 16 inch diameter...
2014 GT Premium - Sterling Gray Metallic - MT82 - Track Pack - Glass Roof - Recaro seats - Spoiler delete
12.76 @ 114.04 bone stock. Koni yellow coil-overs, BMR watts, LCA and LCA relo brackets, Borla S-type axle back.
1966 Coupe - 331 stroker - Bullet custom roller cam - cam and motor installed and dyno tuned by Rodeheavers Hot Rod - Astro A5 - McLeod RXT - 486 to the wheels - more fun than my little tires can handle
1966 Oldsmobile Toronado - currently NOT on jackstands
the trx rim is actually a completely redesigned bead for the tire. supposed to improve handling I think. Never caught on though. A few pricier cars had em too ie bmw and i think ferrari.
Holy crap that's expensive
03 Torch Red Anni. Ed. Cobra
11 Grabber Blue 5.0, 3D500 spoiler, CS valance, GT premium, interior upgrade package, Brembos, MT-82 and Whipple powered SOLD
01 cobra: traded

I did end up finding a set for the 81 that i originally started this thread for. I have recently picked up an 80 cobra and am now on the search for another set of trx tires in good shape. Let me know if have anything.
