FRED,

Attached are photos of a 215/70-15 AVON CR6 ZZ.

The tire photographed is a VERY TALL and narrow tire used for vintage
vehicles in the early 1960 era. It is only 7.6 inches in tread width and 8.86 in overall width.

Whereas the 245/60-15 for example is 8.7 inches of tread width and 9.88 inches in overall width.
The 295/50-15 will be 9.8 in tead width with an overall width of 12.2 inches!

So please use you imagination to expand the width of the tire considerably.

The compound should be excellent as it is used in vintage racing in Europe as well as the USA and yet is durable enough to run multiple events.

A SAMPLE OF TIRE SIZES:
295/50R15 DIA. 26.9 OA WIDTH 12.2 TREAD WIDTH 9.8 $338.00
275/55R15 DIA. 26.9 OA WIDTH 11.2 TREAD WIDTH 9.0 $328.00
245/60R15 DIA. 26.65 OA WID. 9.88 TREAD WIDTH 8.66 $288.00
225/65R15 DIA. 26.65 OA WID. 9.13 TREAD WIDTH 7.91 $273.00

As is normal with all things AVON there is a limited production of all tire sizes.
My advise is to pre-order as many as you will need immediately.

The first release is due to arrive mid-to late October.

Thank you,
Ron[list]
