Does anyone know where I might be able to get a new/2nd hand windscreen 1996 Aristo TT?

Also chasing a 275 35 18s 2of or better still 285 30 18s Tyres?

Any info leading to the capture of these items would be gratefully appreciated.

Cheers,
G

What's the issue with tyres? Those should be available sizes...

I'm quite confident I had a set of 285/35/18s on my last rims.. and might even have 275/35/18s on them right now actually... I can run to garage and check but those sizes sound right to me.


Edit: I see now you mentioned 285/30/18.. I'm not sure but I would think that would be a size too small.. why would you want to run undersized tyres exactly? Arguably it will slow your acceleration down a tad or mean you have to rev higher to get the same roadspeed..

yeah the 285 30 18 gives me 13mm in width and 20 mm reduced height against a 275 35 18.
And it fits with the guards....

I have a mixed bag at the moment of 275 35 18s and need one Tyre, but preferably I'd rather go back to 285 30 18s......

I'm still not sure what the issue is sorry?
They should be available sizes. Are you just having difficulty locating brands or?

( IMO, I've gone for oversized tyres as the guards are massive and I don't like the look of the stock undersizing going on with our cars. I couldn't fathom going even smaller, but I guess everyone's different? Don't you think 285/30/18 look tiny in the huge rear arches of the Aristo? Go for 285/35 and not only is it easier to find, it also looks better.. but that's just IMO. You're free to do as you like haha )

I have mine lowered and the tyres to me look great. I was just asking if anyone has any lying around for sale.
Sorry should have been more specific.

OHHH!
Then this belongs in the Wanted To Buy section mate. Razz

FYI, I'm about as low as they go and I run 305/30/20, so very oversized.. so it's not an issue of height I guess more just the kind of style you're after..
