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. |

Thanks.
Cal I checked out Lucas tire but shipping was not free....not too bad at $105 but still a an addition to the price of overall. I'm leaning toward the Michelins or Pirelli's in 185/70 15's. Steve |

Steve Sorry.....the shipping from Longstone in the UK is free to the US.....but only for the Michelin or Pirelli tires and not the Vredestein tires. https://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/ |
