Link to police pursuit tire evaluation.

This is a followup to a prior thread, for anyone that's interested. I would have edited my prior post, but apparently can't get in after publishing.

Go to http://www.justnet.org

Click on "Testing and Evaluation" and follow the links.

Anyone who owns a Shark...

should check out this report. These tire are probably the best performance tires available beyond the vintage Michelin XWX from Coker.

Unfortunately, I don't think this size will fit on a C2 - on a accepably wide wheel - without shaving the fender lips, but there are several 215/70R-15s with speed ratings up to "Z" that will fit C2s mounted on KOs or 6" Rally wheels.

PS

The online reports are all for the 225/60R-15 size. I'm going to email the contact and ask how I might be able to get a copy of the most recent report that tested the 225/70R-15 size.

The "current" report references 225/60 16s

But the general info might be a guide for 15s in the same tire that might be found.

The tire rack tire that got all this started was a 225/70 15VR Firestone PV 40.

The "current" tests on the website include what I suppose was the next iteration in 16", the PV 41.

Re: The "current" report references 225/60 16s

The casing costruction and tread compounding based on the UTQG ratings is probably very similar for both the 225/60R-16 and 225/70R-16 versions of these tires, but I went ahead and e-mailed Larry Miller asking how to obtain a copy to the tests for the 225/70R-15 version. This size was obviously tested as it was the subject of the original URL you referenced, but it's probably a few years old and my be considered obsolete, but I still want a copy of the report.

I'll let everyone know what I come up with.
