TIRES

Thanky you thank you.I will not drive it except to get
the fuel filter change on Wed.I Paid them extra to show
Shean how because I cant with my hands but i wont put
him/us in danger.The tires on it have lots of tread and
are probably safe in dry conditions They are 23 years
old.I am trying to buy wheels and then tires so we can
store the original wheels and tires on this car so Sean
may care about it and carry it into the future in its
original condition,I am not good with the computer but
dont wont to convey that we cant be safe but on the other
hand we need lots of help not to make mistakes along the
way,
Sean does not have his enhanced drivers license yet so he
cant come to BC yet,Thank You so much for your offer but
I will try not to endanger us,Thank you agine
PS when is the next autocross in BC?

Oh god, I used to have staggered, directional tires. If one wore out, the set was essentially a wash. It was awful.

 I think that is what bassman does but it is an 86 and I dont know how that changes things in the front

The Hankook tire I posted was this one. Probably not appropriate to be driven on the street for too long.

Hankook also has the R-S3, which seems to be good value for what it is. Unfortuanately it looks like the only 15" size they have, 225/45R15, won't fit on the front of an '88.

I am going to reread the tire article that Cheese sent
me.Ijust dont wont to choose wrong.

Charles...what tire you want to buy?...if your thinking those XT's DON'T!!!...not a good tire, and I think Artic was asking about size.

If you was a autoX tire there are only a few to choose from, or a low treadware tire under 180 that you can still enjoy and drive to and from with...this is not so much about size other than treadware and stickyness of the rubber

Well I have seen Fieros with 245's on the front, but not that size on stock rims. Those 245/60R15 tires are going to be a fair bit taller than stock though, and that may be an issue.

Charles, if it's the wheels you're interested in, it might be Colby (Cheese) whose attention you're actually after!

I'm not sure, but it doesn't look there are very much, if any, tires available in that size today.


Charles, if you want more options for tires I do happen to have a set of 16x7" rims that I don't want anymore. There are way more tires to choose from that'll fit those rims.
