I love my BF Goodrich Traction T/A's, but I don't think they make them anymore. I was winding through some pretty intense back road twisties just the other night coming back from Breaks Interstate Park and had forgotten how awesome these cars are in curves :mrgreen:

You can contact any local tireshop or bodyshop and ask them if you can buy a transwheel http://www.transwheel.com or similar
I would try the other options first as the transwheel will cost about $179

I am not seeing the damage in your picture. Where is it hurt? Can you post a close up of the damage please?

Sorry, I posted the photo of the good wheel instead of the fractured one. It had 3-5" fracture line near to the rim edge. Maybe two fracture lines. I gave the wheel to the repair shop that had the replacement wheel sitting out back. Think I took that photo as I am partial to that style and didn't know what they were called (Columbia). Speaking of tires I have had good results with the Continental Extreme Contact. My next set will be the Continental DWS's. Hoping for continued good use. They are cheap. $85. on Tire Rack.
