Help me find these tires please?
I'm having a real problem finding the right size tires for my MGB. I need G50-14's, now known as 265/50R14's and so far I've been unable to find a manufacturer who still makes them, though I expect somewhere there is a small manufacturer who does since they were a pretty common size for 70's era muscle cars. Can anyone help me out here? Thanks.

I know you probally know of these sites but I will mention anyway "Coker Tire "or "Tire Rack .com" Good luck many of these older tires are being discontinued, to make room for all the 16" stuff on up I guess. The Tire I use on my B is a 245 50 15 they are only made by 2 companies now 2 years ago almost everybody made them Joe |

Yeah, they're not retro enough yet for Coker and tire rack never heard of them. BFG made their last production run 25 months ago, no M/T's, no M&H's, no Hoosiers. Somebody has to be making them though, there were lots of guys that were running them.
