This isn't really a classified- more of a question to the members.
I am replacing the OEM size Michelins that were on my '76 2.0 when I bought it 2-1/2 years ago. PO had no idea how old they are- they don't have a modern date code. Cosmetically they are nice for an original look (presently on repro Fuchs wheels). The rears are evenly worn with 5mm of tread; the fronts have more inner wear with 2-3mm tread. I can post pictures if there is any interest. I am replacing the tires because they don't seem to have much grip- the car oversteers easily under power, on dry pavement, and I spun it once on damp pavement. Am putting on 195/65-15 Potenza 960's. Anyway, the question is whether these Michelins are of any value to anyone or should I trash 'em? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
