Reply to "BRUCE'S SPYDER PROJECT"

Anyone know anything about Blackhawk Street tires? Looks like that’s what is on my soon to arrive Speedster. 195/65R15.

I went to the Blackhawk website. Like everything not called a Vredestein Sportrac 5, it's an A/S touring tire.

The world is aching for a legitimate summer tire in 15" sizes. Vredestein made one, but it was impossible to get. Carey got Tire Rack to start caring and list something besides oddball 14" sizes, but now Vredestein themselves is dorking with the product line.

I'm lost as to why it's so very hard for anybody to build and sell a decent 15' tire. Why in the name of all that's good would Vredestein not just keep building them, and why didn't so many people buy them that they had no choice but to keep making them? Every classic 911 in the world is crying for decent tires, just like we are.

The Sportracs were the best tires I've ever run on anything. I could run with Spyders in a Speedster - and that's all anybody needs to know about their gooey goodness.
