All,
It's time to put a new set of tires on my car for spring. The ones on it now have only 8,000 miles on them and look like new; zero cracks or checking but they were put on the car by the previous owner in 2000! Time for a new set. Definitely want to stay with stock OEM appearance and size since the car is all original. Tom you mentioned at one point the Bockley's at Lucas tire but I noticed that they say that they are new old stock manufactured in 2011? I'm thinking of the Vredestein sprint classics. Any suggestions for better OEM type tires with original appearance? If not, I'll go Sprint Classics. Thanks in advance. |

I'm also replacing the tires on my '74 2.0L and would like to stay with an OE type / style tire. I've have narrowed my selection down to the following....
Pirelli Cinturato CN36 165VR15 Pirelli Cinturato CN36 185/70VR15 Michelin XWX 185/70VR15 Vredestein Sprint Classic 165HR15 Vredestein Sprint Classic 185/70HR15 The best pricing that I've been able to find for Pirelli and Michelin is through Lucas Tires in the UK.....they have free shipping. I'm leaning towards the Vredestein 185/70HR15.....this size was an available option back in the day. The best pricing for these is through Vulcan Tires at $128.00 ea.....which is considerably less than the Pirelli's and Michelin's. http://www.lucasclassictires.com/ http://www.vulcantire.com/ I hope this helps.....good luck with your search. |
