You solution is simple. Source some 205/70-15 tires from your favorite supp=
lier (mine has always been Discount Tire)
and then take them to a shop specializing in detailing. Find one that knows=
 how to cut and dye your tires resulting in a red striped wall. I've seen i=
t done many times and the results usually are outstanding.

I guess these are bias-ply tires.  Bias-ply tires are difficult to deal wit=

h say, a few hundred miles on them. They tend to be out-of-round when new. =
 I had huge problems with two new sets of Hoosier Vintage TD race tires for=
 my TR3.  Around $1200 a set, mounted and balanced.  I drive my car on the =
street too, so I was able to discover this before getting to the track.  Re=
peated tries at balancing went nowhere.  I had them "road force balanced" m=
ultiple times in attempt to improve the matter.  This machine reads the run=
-out.   I think 20 was about the number that you would not feel while drivi=
ng.  None of the tires were under 30 and some were 80.  You didn't need a m=
achine to see how out-of round they were, even at 30.  Terrible.  They real=
ly upset a weekend of racing at the Laguna Seca, Rolex Reunion.  The car sh=
ook terribly between 60-90 mph.  Above 90 was better.   After the event I c=
alled Hoosier and they sent me another set, no charge.  I had to eat the ex=
tra attempts at balancing.  The second set was also very bad and a year lat=
er, my second Rolex race weekend was equally disappointing.  Hoosier sent a=
 third set, no charge.   This set was excellent.  This event is the only on=
e that I have to run bias-ply race tires.  I've heard from other racers tha=
t the much more expensive Dunlops are even worst.  Hoosier did not request =
the bad sets be sent back.  I have since remounted a couple of lower "road =
force" numbered tires and they are good now.  So with some wear, they did g=
et better. =20
Roger Kraus Racing, tire company, recommended truing these tires by shaving=
 the tread when newly mounted if they are noticeably out-of round and take =
a lot of weight to balance. =20
Happy motoring,

Thanks, Larry =E2=80=93 very helpful.

=20

What about 195 x 65 x15 on 6=E2=80=9D wheels ?  That=E2=80=99s what I =
have on one of my TR3s and they look great.  Am thinking of the same for =
the TR5.

=20

Just FYI, on my TR250 I have 215 x 55 x16 on Panasport 7=E2=80=9D rims.  =
I guess the possibilities are endless.
