Busybee Report post Posted February 9 Those are wide. Much wider. Maybe 9’s on the rear. Mine are 6/7 15” rims. Think they’re 195/65 and 215/60 P6000’s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
786 Report post Posted February 9 Ya they are 8.5 front and 9 rear. I was thinking to try 7/8 first. I may do a 50 series tire though, the bounciness you felt may be due to 60+ series tires. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Busybee Report post Posted February 9 Yeah but a 50 will give you a smaller diameter overall tyre? What would you gain? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
786 Report post Posted February 9 That is TBD, I was told by some local PCA folks that feel and handling would improve with the 50. I want more compliance and a period look so suggested larger sidewall and they poo poo'd it. I'll have to see for myself. Car tuning can be trial & error at times. I had another guy tell me to do 70 series tires but his car was bone stock early 70s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Busybee Report post Posted February 9 I can understand a taller sidewall tyre for a softer ride. But 15’s with 50’s are kind of like 16’s with 60’s. Plus it’ll screw your speedo indicated speed? Stock sizes for 15’s are a little narrower anyway which is why I guess they’re said to be a little lighter at parking speed. Be interesting to see what you think.
