No more bug offset Rivera’s. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif)
Cinderella can finally go to the ball. Need help with tires. Size wise, I’m probably going with a 195/65 x 15. From researching here, for me, that seems like a good bet. I only street / freeway drive, so the 205’s may be too much. I’m running 10 year old 165/15 Michelins now and am happy. Maybe it’s just what I’ve grown used to. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) I stopped by the tire store today and they suggested Goodyear GT HR or Dunlop SPA2. ????? They said the Goodyear would have a wider tread & better grip but Dunlap would be a smoother ride. Or, was it the other way around? They tried talking me out of the Pirellis because of rapid wear. And lastly, I remember someone at a BBQ saying Falkens or Fuzions, (can’t remember) are too stiff for street and their side walls tend to shred. Help! Open to any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Just remember when you go to buy tires it's all about the treadwear rating which is a uniform rating. Don't let anyone tell you it's brand specific, because it isn't.
R compound tires generall fall in the under 100 range. Anything over 200 might as well be a solid rubber tire hard as a rock. I think Yoko AVS Sports are like 180 Good AX tires that don't see laps are like 40 Good lap tires would be 80-100 And so on. My Jeep has tires with a treadwear of 280 to put things in perspective. |
