Nail in tire :(

Post by Greenbird » Sat Nov 09, 2013 4:13 pm

The firebird's got a flat tire. Will find out tomorrow whether or not it's repairable.
In the case that it isn't I've been trying find replacements. It's the front passenger tire: a firestone Firehawk p235/55r16 96t tire. - I believe they don't make them anymore.
I'd tried various links posted on the forum; however, nothing's showing up.
Anyone know where I could get one?
Cheers :driving:

Turns out there was an error in the listing for the tire you posted :( Was feeling chuffed as got it for £25! :o

I've found this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bridgestone-D ... 3cd72a705e

Would this fit, only difference is at the end - It has 101V instead of 96t.

yes, it will fit the same, the only difference is the speed rating, and V is better than a T rated tyre :thumb:

Well it arrived today late as there had been a problem at the lockup. Turns out it's a tire for a 19" wheel, not 16". There was an error in the listing.
After two tires ( first one realized there was an error before sending it out) I'm back to square one...

I've found this,

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-X-Goodyear- ... 3a830bca81

Will this fit?


If not ,does anyone know where I can purchase a new one/ or another partworn? - There's nothing else on ebay.

Thanks again. All for one tire.... :(
