Yes, the tires on the car have 100% tread left and were "the" tires to have back in the day: Michelin XZX's. Problem is that they are probably about 30 years old.
They are 165/SR/15's What are the recommended tires now days? Wheels are ATS 5 1/2 Jx15 H2 |

QUOTE(Type 47 @ Dec 28 2025, 06:07 PM)  just deciphered the date codes 1st week in November 1993...so 32 years old. And I thought mine from 1996 were getting long in the tooth... Still look as good as the year old tires on my DD though. |
