Tires for 1984 GT Trubo Convertible!!!
 

Hi, i have a 1984 GT Turbo Covertible, i have not seeing a car like this!!


Ok the thing is that my car have simetrical tires, this rims are the originals from the factory and i dont wan to change them, but michellin are the only that make them, each tire is $250 they told that his car use the same tires as the BMW, I don't remember the exact size I'm goin to find out and I'll type the size of them, does any body related with this car or this tires??? can i put another size?


Thanks!!

are you talking about Michelin TRX tires? yeah they put those on Bimmers back in the 1980's.

Yes those tires!!! do you if i can put any other tire size?? those are really expensive!!!

once you know the size of the tire and the size of thw rim in height and width. we can help you if you wanna get a larger (wider) tire to help with traction. Assuming the rim can hold a bigger tire.

I work for BMW so I am familiar with the TRX tires. They are a metric sized tire not measured like the normal tires are. the rims the Bimmers use with the TRX is a 6.75mm wide rim. Most ppl that come to our dealership end up buying new rims because the TRX tires are crappy and SO expensive. for the cost of replacing the TRX's with another set of TRX's you could have bought rims and then tires twice.

My advice is to buy rims and tires and not bother with the TRX stuff.

This is the size 220/55 R 390


Yeap the thing is that i want to keep it original but i think that is going to cost me a lot!!

yup, thats metric. the thing is, the TRX capable rims are not an even numbered diameter, like 17 inch or 18 inch...they are metric. those TRX capable rims you have are like 15.5 inches or something like that in diameter. so you have to use a TRX tire or buy new non-metric rims and non-TRX tires.

I suggest you spend a little more money now and save yourself some money in the future by getting new, non-metric rims and tires.
