Question Before I start a new thread on the topic----maybe I can ask about tires here

My builder, is going to be able to put a fairly-unique set of Trigos on my car. Though they'll be knowck-offs and 15" diameter, he's going out to 10.5"+ rim width in front and 12.75"+ on the rears. This fits fine with the Jag rear and modified ZMG up front. Unfortuinately, in 45-section tires, the supply of super-wide ones is limited indeed. The 305 is being discontinued by both Goodyear and BFG----apparently. Mickey Thompson does seem to have some in the wide-wide range (equivalent to 305s or even 315s)--but nobody seems to have anything DOT-rated near this. I have talked to several dealers, including Roger Kraus and haven't had the best of luck.

Any suggestions or other forms of help will be greatly appreciated!
