I have Yokohoma tyres fitted all round, 235/80 R15.
I need to replace the front n/s one, but can't seem to find a Yokohoma tyre in that size, whats the next best thing?

Talk to a tyre company. Someone told me that an '80' profile is not allowed in this country, and you have to go to a '75' and a wider tyre. (80 refers to tyre wall height in ratio to width of tyre - I think!)

"80" profile tyres are not illegal. They are the "standard" size and are not generally marked as such. So if you are looking for a 235 x 80 x 15 try looking for a 235 x 15 and it will be an "80" aspect ratio. That's not to say you will find one but thats how they are marked. I think you will find that that particular size is effectively obsolete or at least as rare as "rocking horse droppings".

Good luck.

Dave
