    I'm not entirely sure you can even get Eagers anymore unless it will be someone's old stock. My wife's uncle had to source one from QLD to put on his Goss coupe.

    Talk to John Cain in Newcastle/Lake Macquarie area. He brings in US made tyres. BUT, most US stuff of consequence is 15". Not much of a drama though, just get some 15" wheels for the car! Cainy might be able to get these, or ROH may do them. Original WB Statesman wheels might be the go.

    14 inch with white writing. You'd be best off going with BT goodrich radials from antique tyres. I think theyre in several states. I have 235 R14 60s on the back and about to put 225s on the front. I have 8 inch back rims and willl have 7 inch front rims.

    Okay, so BF Goodrich Radial TA, Bridgestone Eagers and Yokohama 352.. I will do some more reasearch on them.. Going by the yokohama website, they still make the 352.. But only in 15" :(

    Magnum had Momo wheels. Most caprice Magnums had the standard caprice 15" wheels though.

    Matt, you'll find that most tyres that have a side with raised white lettering will usually only have that lettering on one sidewall only. Bridgestone Eagers, BF Goodrich radial T/A's and the A352 Yokies were made that way. Not everyone is in love with the raised white lettering and the manufacturers catered for it.

    Hope that helps,

    Regards Dave.
