    Or is it 10...?

    As I understand the literature, the two numbers reflect compound differences (soft and medium) - I'm pretty sure the 15s are the medium/longer wearing compound.

    PS Terry, your car looks fantastic on the TBs. Mine should look similar, but skinny and blue

        Looks like I'd better get in on this act.
        What size tyre rim combo are you running John?

        My project car has 16 x 7" & 8" fuchs that I'm keeping for track work with "R" compound tyres.
        I want to fit up the 15" minilites for street action with this sort of tyre.
        I dont want to go to wide so I can keep the steering light and have some fun sideways action

          I misled you!
          All my paperwork states TB5 but in fact the tyres are TB15 so take all my information to be relevant to TB15.
          Having quite a flat surface, they are quite light on the steering as well

            Hey Paul

            I'm going to run with my 15" 7&8 fuchs, but am considering a pair of 8" minis for the rear... just for the look...

                      John - what size TB15s did you end up running? 15/60-15 or 18/60-15?

                        Both The 15s on the 7" and the 18s on the 8". The 15's are perfect on 6", but a little stretched on the 7". Problem of course is that the 15/60 are pretty much NLA now as the are slightly too small a diameter for FIA rules so they stopped making them.
