Re-check records the 185/65 x 15 is the eqivalent of Michelin 14/62 x 15... so all you fools under 200 bhp at the wheels---there's your tire..
The BR's actually have a bit wider thread, 160mm vs 145mm of the Michelins which is a good thing for someone like me.

Which ones? The ones I flew in for Derek Bottles were close enough to 14/62s that it was "like whatever"....16 cm is a whole lotta different from 14cm.

Interesting that they couldn't/didn't get a rate from http://www.eurotires.se/eng/oferta/opony-rajdowe/ for the Colways which are probably less expensive.

We did not order any 16" tires this first order. We would need to have them pre-ordered before having brought over. Sorry.

The Colways only have a 185/65 in a 15" diameter. Not a big demand for 14", let alone 13" tires in the US.

Do not need new tires yet, but what does shipping prices look like? Dmacks I can usually pick up at a rally, vs having them shipped.

Tires range in cost from $120 for a 13" to $155 for 15". Shipping is a flat $20 per tire. Take a look at http://www.rockymtnautosports.com/black-rocket/

Bryan you can save some shipping by banding or simply taping 2 or 3 tires together.

It is a significant saving---try it and pass the saving on..and your customers will Lurv you thumbs up

And you don't have to make as many address labels..

The $20 per tire is less than our cost. FedEx can charge up to $35 per tire for a bare tire. We always bundle 2 tires together. Unless we box them we pay around $27 per tire on the average.

ACK!

(Yeah I'm surprised every time I go to UPS.. Last year spent around $5000 in UPS shipping suspension....)

I find it hilarious that after putting in so much time and effort to rework the brakes to get 15" wheels to fit, 16" gravel tires become available. 16" wheels would have cleared the rears and the ear on the knuckle without effort. sigh

What's the difference between the BR22/33/44. Also just curious as to the reason you put "not suitable for open stage rally cars". Not that I have a high HP car, but just found it interesting that it was necessary to put that down.
