Here's my DD selection ... reasonable price with good treadwear and a nice ride ... http://www.vulcantire.com/cgi-bin/ti...fad=Froogle721

50 offset fronts on an 8" wheel. You will have to go with a 225 tire on the front or they will rub.
I have the Bridgestone 760's and I like them. They wear well too. My car is a bit hard on rear tires.

Just bought Michelin PS2s. Expensive, but a lot less road noise than the Pirellis made. The old fronts had lots of tread, but were cracking from age (need to drive more); the rears were spinning a lot on wet pavement (need to drive more). ![thumbsup](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/bigok.gif)
Interesting note, the Pirellis said "Made in Germany" on them. Never assume.

I have the kuhmo tires 225/45 and 275/40 on both the '81 and '86.5 (twist wheels 7" 50et, and 9" 55et) Cosmo is correct with the 8" rim 225 is most you would want. Also have a set that is 8.5" front and 9" rear with same set. The fronts look a bit 'pinched' with 225, but when I got them they had 235 tires. I tried them on the '86.5 and they were a bit too close to the fender for my comfort (if compressed the rubber would hit) so bought 225.
These (my) cars are also not driven terribly hard and I like the kuhmo very much. The pattern gives a quieter ride than tires with 'v' shaped pattern.
Not to hijack thread, but the wheels I have are 996 362 128.00 and 996 362 126.05, anyone know what they were from?

What is better - 255 or 275 for the back? I think I'll go with Conti's. Is there a big difference between DW and DWS? I know DWS is all weather tire, but how does it stock up in terms of perfomance to DW?
Thanks!
Thanks!
