Bridgestone still have some 14" Eagers available, $220 for 235/60-14 and $250 for 245/60-14. These are probably the last of the old school muscle tyres we'll see in Oz. They will look great on your 8" slotters.

Bridgestone don't have many Eagers left. The factory in japan that makes them burnt to the ground last year so that spelt the end of them.

More a drag tyre than a road tyre. Yokahama still make a wide tyre in the 14 inch. Contact Bob Jane for price and availability as there is a long wait between shipments and I'm not sure how much longer they will be producing them. Price is probably a b
