Jack,

The Porsches I run against in HSR use a Yokohama 008 - 195/60/15.

You might check with Joe Pendergast at HSR as to what has been approved for
this year since I understand that Yokohama was considering discontinuing
this tire.

> We have a large group of Porsche 356 and 912 vintage racers looking for
DOT street legal racing tires in either 195/60/15 or 205/60/15 sizes.  We
race with Rocky Mountain Vintage Racing (RMVR) and are limited to a 60
series or larger tire.  It seems that most manufacturers have quit making
this size ond no one can find a suitable replacement.   BF Goodrich had the
> G-force/R1 in a 205/60/15 but it is my understanding that it has been
discontinued also;  no loss though because my last set only lasted two
races.  All other manufacturers only make 50 series for  our 15"wheels.
Any suggestions for  suitable race tires ?
