21" tires

I just got my style 128's and LOVE them. They've got the Dunlops and I'm planning ahead to replace them with possibly a non-runflat tire within the next couple months. Looking online, however, it looks like 21's are nearly impossible to find.

Does anyone know of any good 285/35/21 and 325/30/21 tires other than the Dunlops?

Hi ssan586

I have the exact same wheels as yourself. I am afraid you are stuck with Dunlop for the foreseeable furture. About a month ago I changed to the non-runflat Dunlops and they do make a difference i.e. Better comfort and road handling
I was able to purchase 4 new tires for €1200. There are two different types: Dunlop Sport Maxx and Dunlop SP9000 which fit the 21'' wheel dimensions, the SP9000 being slightly cheaper. Hope this may help.

Kind Regards
ekelly

I know it's been a while since you posted this, but I was wondering how much you paid for your setup? I am looking to do the same exact one. Did you get replicas or OEM wheels? Thanks!
