Hey Guys (and gals), A friend of mine works for Yokohama and needs your input!! I'm constantly ragging on him that we need better tires in sizes to fit our VWs...
17's are the starting point? Better be looking at 13"-15" tires for "our" needs. Otherwise, ill just stick with the tire manufactures that already make tires...

Agreed, we need the smaller sizes. I can't belive a 205/50/15 isn't on the list....for years it has been the most popular size. Anywho, for my mkIII: ...
Yoko needs to produce wide 13" diameter tires for both HP street use and off-road (ie: autocross and road race) use for 70's and early 80's sports type cars. ...

Hmm - I run an almost antique vehicle that requires 225/50-14 and 205/50-14 R-compound tyres. However Yokomama hasn't produced a tyre worth a damn in many...

People would rather bitch than provide meaningful input. The world has moved on and it's insanely rare to find any car in the last 5 years (especially a car...
"However Yokomama hasn't produced a tyre worth a damn in many years." I'm not sure I'd make that statement. Their R-compounds aren't competitive for autocross,...
Let me clarify - Yokomama hasn't made an R-Compound tyre worth a damn in many years. After the A008, the A032 just plain sucked. I never wasted my money on...
A wide 13 (215 is narrow - something like Kumho's V700 235 would be good) and something like the new 275/35-15 Hoosier would be good, in my world, but the...

I'm interested in wide, short 15s. 245/40-15 or 245/45-15 would be great and work on a lot of stock size wheels, like all 15"-wheel Porsches from 1974-1991. I...

I agree, the 13-15 inch market could really open up. That is if their tire would be competitive. I think the 255/40-15 and a 245/40/13 would be a great start...
