-
- TRX Michelin tires were used on a variety of Ford cars, mainly the
- Mustang/Capri and the Escort 2-seater (name?)/LN7.
-
- They require a special TRX wheel, and they are sized so that you
- cannot install TRX tires on regular wheels because of the special
- sidewall and bead design.
-
- Michelin still sells TRX tires for the owners of Ford/Mercurys that
- use them. I do not know if anyone makes replacement TRX wheels, but
- I'm sure you can find them in the paper or at a dismantler.
