Malcolm, OUCH! $10 G's huh? Maybe we could work a trade. I have the old XWX's from which I captured the original factory air charge into a sealed container. Tires are shot but the air's worth a lot! Seriously, thanks for the reply, I'll call them. |

Bill, I just checked and they dont show up, as you said. Perhaps they are all done, maybe you should call. Since these are no longer availble and are "ferrari" parts I will sell you my set for $10000, you can get back to me? |

Bill, I bought the "intermediate" tire. I only drive on the road and my car presently has this tire so I bought an extra set for about $45.00 each. I like this tire for the street since it has a block tread similar to the XWX, so it looks about right for the period but is " modern". I have a set of Borranis/XWX for the days I want to look authintic.Boy, not having spellcheck makes it apparant how lazy I have become. |

Malcolm, The Tire Rack website does not list this tire. The only Yokohama in 235/60-15 is an all-season tire. How did you find them? |

I recently bought these same tires from Tire Rack. They apparantly bought up all the stock, and are selling at bargain prices. |

TomD, Yeah, the tires are "gettin out there". They're Yokohama 235/60-15 and I can't get them anymore so I've got to find an alternative. Just have too much fun lightin up the tires from a roll since I put high-compression pistons in my engine. |

Does anybody have any suggestions on making my stock Ansa a little bit louder without going crazy? |

Rijk, They sound exactly like the Ansa system. The quality of the set I bought is perfect. Plenty of adjustment provision in the rear hanger brackets to get them centered to.

Billb I have the US Ansa and they sound great (read: loud). How is the sound of the stainless set? Rijk |

In addition to the Euro's slip joint connection, the rear hangers differ. USa uses round rubber dounts, while Euro uses a rubber disc with studs protruding out either side. Fix the problem permanently by getting stainless steel ones from Ferrai U.K. as I did. They'll be the last set you'll ever need. |

original ansa still available, any of the normal parts sources should be able to get them for you.European version is a slip joint, us version has flanges, otherwise they look the same to me. I could only find euro version, welded the old flanges on to make it "original" |

I am looking for a source to replace my tail pipes (Ansa) for a 1973 Euro 365GTB/4. Are the original Ansa still available? Anybody has any experience with after market? |
