QUOTE(flipb @ Dec 18 2023, 06:30 AM)  I've got an older set of Vredestein T-tracs on my '74 in stock size (165/80 15) and I'm very happy with them. Durable and just the right degree of sticky. A couple votes for Vredestein! Thanks, Todd |

I am running the Sumitomo HTR A/S PO3 195x65xR15. They fit my narrow bodied car well, ride and handle well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I'm running these as well. Speedo is accurate and the ride is comfortable. I've not done an AX on them, but for cruising they have been very nice. I've not really put these tires through their paces yet, but they don't feel as grippy as the Kuhmo 205/55s that I had on previously. I know I used to beat on those tires and they just never gave. I've yet to try on these, but its also partly having the larger engine as well. Zach |

Back in the day I always ran XZX because they were cheap, you could get them anywhere, they were quite good when cold, hot, wet, whatever, and they lasted a long time. I played around with some pirellis and Kuhmo's and found they were alright in some conditions, but dangerous in others. Spinning towards the cliff on PCH with P7s in the wet! Never again! I don't know much about the recent XZX, though. Maybe the same? Maybe better? Maybe worse.

Had a great experience at America’s tire with mounting and balancing.
Wheels mounted, so far I’m super happy with the way they look with the 60 series. Cars little taller because I haven’t taken them out for a ride yet after putting it back on the ground . I think it will settle down an inch or so.   |
