I really like the idea of these original style skinny tires for the lower powered cars. They fit a 1.7L mindset better than over tiring one and making it slower and adding heavier steering - imho. I’ve got a newly rebuilt 1.7 engine that I’d planned to use very temporarily til I got around to a larger engine - but these tires kind make me wanna just keep it and embrace the slow/nimble thing a bit. Just push the hell out of the little engine with these tires.
