Tried to post a expression of interest to Bridgestone Tyres to make 13 inch Bridgestone Eagers again,but it won't let me.

lol, In the digital age most companies don't need/want personal feedback from consumers to know what consumers really want and need.

On the AV8 forum maybe a year ago Bridgestone posted that they were going to be doing Eagers again but nothing came of it, might be worth a barrage of emails and a few phone calls perhaps.

Would you honestly think that they'd be made in Australia ? On a national scale, how many people are going to buy enough to make local production viable, 13" + you can only legally use the tyre in 5 years. You'll be lucky to see them offered !

I'm pretty sure they did release new 14 inch ones last year didn't they? I really think I remember seeing them on eBay, although I am getting old.......

Edit
Just checked eBay, there are new ones on there now.

Pitty they don't make them in a 13inch.

[Kevrev]

Yes you'd think if they were going to bring back an old tyre it would be in more sizes than 245/50/14.

I have a set of Falken ZE912 205/60/13 on my GTR, they seem pretty good.

[Kevrev]

My car came with the Falken 205/60/13 tyres fitted already, and I bought another one for the spare wheel brand new from Bob Jane a couple of years ago

[Kevrev]

Might be NLA now, according to Falken's webiste no more 13" tyres

But Bob Jane still show them on their website

I might check and buy another set if their still around.

[Kevrev]

I checked with Bob Jane today, no problem getting the Falken ZE912 205/60/13, $191 each fitted.

All tyre manufacturing ceased in Australia in around 2010. NZ stopped making tyres a while ago.
