SF330 and SF340's.....

Hi Brad,

Yes, all product codes for both the S330 and S340 are showing as obsolete. No orders are being placed for either of these products.

There's still 2nd hand ones around (I just got a good set of 265/50/14 SF330's) and nos ones show up on ebay now and then. Always check the date code and for any cracking etc. I was going to try these guys too http://www.antiquety...a.com/index.htm they have Bf goodridge T/A's, might be worth a call to see if they have bridgestones too....

^ They still do the occaisional run of Yokohama's. Yella is wearing a new set I bought a few years ago.

Antique Tyre Company in Victoria were lalking about introducing a period 245/265 BF Goodrich patterned tyre. Don'e know where that is at.

In the late 90s had lots of fun with my neighbours WB Stato frying up a pair of eagers because he was due for a new set.
Can you still get them in 15s?

Yup agree, there are still Yoko's around. Buy them up so they'll do a new batch.

And while initially skeptical, the Yoko's are a heaps lighter tyre than the old Eagers. Less unsprung weight.

Antique tyres website shows a 245/50/14. A BF Goodrich 'silverton'.
Maybe they can buy the pattern for the SF330

i went in search for 14s for my wb when i had it and no one had them or was going to get them in, in any tyre. that antique store was a great choice with the bfs in the original pattern as there still common in america. price wasnt to bad either. alot of tyre shops where saying even 15s where starting to get behind th times. sign of the crappy times. seen a few diff brands thou lately like cooper cobra etc
