I purchased my TRX's from TireRack.com back in July for a little under $900 delivered via UPS. That was for four (4) tires. You might also check on the "Avon" brand tire. They have a 390 that is a perfect match, and I've heard it's a decent tire, too. Good luck to you!! |

I got 2 rear TRXs from Coker. I got my tires about a week after I placed the order, and I am in Hong Kong! Cost me about $600 something with FedEx. Pretty good price I say. |

Michelin has a Vintage Tire Division and manufactures the TRX and XWX tires in France.

I just got a set of 4 TRX from Tire rack in the states. They are made in France, but they are Michellin tires. But they are expensive. They cost me $1500 for the set. |

I bought my 4 tires and was told by coker they
might not have any more made.The sales person
said they have very few sets left!Seems the cost
to make them and ship them may be too much. |

It is my understanding that Coker has purchased the rights and molds from Michelin to reproduce the TRX tires. From what I have been told, Coker uses modern rubber compounds which make their reproductions better than the originals. |

Hi all.
I have it on good authority that Michelin recently made just 200 of these TRX tires. France had 100, we had 40 and the rest went world wide.
The word is that Michelin are NEVER going to make any more, EVER, PERIOD as you chaps say ! :-)
Wonder where the coker ones come from ? Wonder if they're Michelin ? Wonder if they came from the same batch ?
Anyone in the know out there ??
