those are the trx metric wheels and very hard to find tires for cause they are metric rims and tires are expensive if you find them...last I knew michelin was the only one making them
all you had to do was read the article..it says it in there what they are

I had them on my 82 Capri. Yeah, buying tires sucked b/c very few co's made them.

I like them too. Sad that they only came in such an odd size.
Be nice if some company would make a 16x8 or 17x8 or 9 in five lug I'd seriously consider them.
I just got rid of 2 I had, before I did I rolled them in front of my car and took this picture to get an
idea what it might look like with them.....


They are OK but I'll stay with the wheels I have now.

Michilen may still make them. They were 390mm rims I believe.

This is true Michelin is the only company that still offers them special order.
Ford and BMW where the only 2 that used them for any time at all.
The tires in my pictures where the 220/55 R 390
The other size used where 190/65 R390
