Does anyone know where I can purchase a vintage Michelin tyre 195/50/15 MXF Sport,prefer a pair but anything will do. It has an unusual centre 'gap' on the thread pattern.
Thanks,

These 'vintage' tyres (first in Australia in about '98) have been suoerseded since about 2004, so good luck.

Search on Google in Australia and you will find at least two tyre companies who advertise them as available, though their websites may just be two years out of date.

Thanks for all the suggestions...no luck! You were right Modulus but if I can find an original Judson scoop for a Ghia, I will find this bloody tyre!:cry

A number of Subaru WRX (and other) clubs list these in a (fairly short) list of acceptable street tyres for use at e.g. track days, so you might find some used ones by advertising on one of their forums.

Could you please post a good forum site where I can place an ad?
Thanks,
