In Reply to: Need four Michelin TRX 220/55 HR 390 tires, help! posted by Jim Agnew on December 20, 2000 at 18:30:43:


The TRX's on my wife's 1986 BMW 735i are almost bald, and I cannot find any replacements - America's Tire has no TRX's in the USA and none on the way over from Europe; Costco tells me the same. I'm afraid to call Coker ($$$$). I'm told that an Avon Turbospeed will fit, but my local Avon dealer doesn't know anything about that. Help!

Barring finding replacements, does anyone have some slightly used TRX's?

Barring that, what am I bid on a good-running, daily driver, shiny-paint 1986 BMW 735i with 231,000 miles, with recent NOS tranny & BEHR radiator replaced, needs only a heater core (and tires...)? I'm in Rocklin, California (near Sacramento). Car was originally owned by a Burger King exec. in Chattanooga, TN, then a QA Engineer in Las Vegas, then me. It has been well-cared for. NO RUST!

They said they had them. I did just get 4 415 mm TRXs from Costco. It did take 3 weeks but they had the best price. You might also try used. The 390 was used as a spare on many different cars to you might find a couple in good shape. I know the local (to me) junk yard has a couple setting in 5 series. They may be rotten from time but I can look if needed.
