hi mate
i work for a ford rapidfit tyre bay and asked the dunlop rep what the
biggest size they did , after a few phone calls he came up with the
245/35/15 sp9000 which are a road tyre.
the only problem was that these tyres where made for the jap market
and dunlop where not going to make any more in the uk , they had 20 in
stock so i orderd all 20 , ive had 10 and my mate had 5 for his mk2 , so
there are 5 left if anyone wants them
cheers lee
