Hi All.... Miss R needs some new shoes... Noticed our favorite shoe maker stopped making them. I just need 2 of them.

HELP!

Best,

Do you really want old tires? I get the collector mentality but at a certain point a rotten tire is a rotten tire.

Well has anyone really found a better or same tire without making a major change in size of the tire?... I love the tire.... What do you mean by rotten? the RE010 I have now are still holding up... just need to replace the fronts because of wear.

I am also looking for a source that produces the Type-R bra(nose mask) for 1997.

Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec in 195/55/15. That's a better tire.

You will have to find one of the nose masks used or second hand... they come up time to time.

Even if your tires still look okay visually, old tires can fail. Tires have a shelf life.

Here's some good information about this subject:
