Pole: How old are the tires on your car? Also, how old it too old for spirited driving?

 

i think the dot code said 99.that would be 13 yrs old.i will check it in the morning,when it is light out..i was driving on them.

 

You were driving on 13 year old tires? Really?

 

$1,000 seems a little low.




















You might have to pay someone more than that to take them.

If someone posted an ad "Wanted to Buy, set of 4 original metric wheels with used TRX tires for 400i", how many replies do you think he would get?

It would become a low bidding war. Guys would be offering cash and free dinner to the first person who would cart them away.

 

This set might also be available with an engineless chassis to put them on. http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?p=141815999#post141815999

 

I still have the metric wheels and tires and like the way they look. What is everyone else using?

 

Series 1 400i wheels

 

8x16" repros and 245/50/16 all the way around for me. I sold my TRX's for about $180 for all 4, I was just glad someone could use them...the spare is still a TRX with original, hard as a rock tire....Lee

 

Where did you get them and around how much are they per tire? Could you post a pic of your car with them? I saw a 400i with non-metric wheels/tires (can't remember what size though) and I thought it changed the overall look/stance of the car.

 

My '83 400i has those 16" rims. Here are some photos: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showpost.php?p=141853244&postcount=212 . I think the stance is OK.

 

sur les 400 c etait du pas du TRX
c est peut etre ca que tu avais vu!!!

 

I wish I could get that size rim with splines so I could use them on my car. With the demise of the Pirelli P4000 there are no more speed rated tires in 15".

 

Where did you get them and do you recall about what they went for?

 

here's a place that sells similar wheels in the UK..

http://www.superformance.co.uk/a-308/wheels.htm

it says they're for 308s but the chap on this thread earlier said he used the 16x8 size all round.

 

The car looks great What type tyres and size do you use ?

 

Nice set of wheels. Have you sold them ?

 

We needed new tires for a 400i and could not find a new set of TRXs anywhere. It appears it may be 6 months or more before new TRXs are available. We decided to do the 16" conversion. We bought 16" 5 star reproductions from Rutlands (770 493-8852). They cost about the same as you'll pay Superformance when you add in duty and shipping.

Installation is straight forward except you have to use Hill Engineering wheel spacers to clear the calipers.

The result looks great and you're no longer a slave to Coker Tire.

 

yes.i still have the set.thx

 

Interesting, do you recall the required spacer thickness front and rear ? Did the bolt thread engagement end up being the same or did the spacers subtract from the standard thread engagement in hub? Very good info, thanks

Godspeed!
