Hi guys,
I'm getting ready to get tires for my 73 2.0. It has the factory anti sway bars front and rear, new Bilstein shocks front and rear, and 100 lb. springs. I'm not going to be autocrossing it. Do you like 195/50/15's or 195/60/15's? And I also also don't think I need the stickiest tires out there. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated! Clark |

I always seem to be the odd-man-out in these discussions as i'm running 195/55's which came with the car per the PO - and I like 'em.
I did have the speedo recalibrated to account for the smaller overall diameter (by 2") from stock but I think they split the difference nicely between OEM and lower/wider. I've resolved that this isn't a highway cruiser (although it's right at 4k doing 75-ish) but more of a backroads carver/cruiser so i'm good with the changes. |
