Yokohama now make a 215/50/13 with white writing, after they stopped making eagers. I think there like $180 a tyre. Just ring round. Eagers were deathtraps any way. Looked good but....

Yeah but the Yokohama is an A352, it is a tyre that has been proven to be worse than the SF-330's.

Bridgestone do a 185/60-13 in a GIII

Toyo do a Proxes F08 in 175/185/205/60-13, they also do a Proxes FZ4 in 215/50-13

I got some eagers for my KE35, I suggest you call some second hand tyre places and see what you can find. I found mine at Drury Tyres In South Auckland.

You can still get eagers, they're still produced in Australia, a friend of mine had 3 sets shipped over about a month or so ago. Shithouse tyres though, only really good for skids! :)

I bought some 14'' eagers about a month ago in Invers. They said that they only make a batch,then stop and when they are gone they will make another batch. I would just sell the howtwires and go for 17's. These days it would almost be cheaper, The tyres would last alot longer to. But if you really want eagers ring round all the tyre shops

uh okay.
most of toyos high perf tires have PROXIE in the name, and as i recall there are 4 models.


which ones are you speaking of when you say they are hard and slippery?


the t1r's and t1s's are very soft and love the rain, not sure about the other lower priced ones in the range.
