Tyre question from newbie


Recommended Posts

Hi all, I'm new on here.

I've had three 6's in the past but now I've seen the light and am wedged-up!

My car, an '82, needs some new tyres and I was wondering if there are any benefits in fitting 175's over 185's?

My main thinking is that it might lighten the steering a bit at low speeds. Any thoughts either way?

I'm not planning on driving the car too hard so outright grip isn't really a big issue.

If I go 175 route are there any make/model of 175's that are particularly light steering.

 

 

I'm sure there will be lots more questions to come.

 

thanks in anticipation

Chris

Rather than go skinny tyres

 

I would put Ford Sierra roller bearings on the strut tops

 

makes a big difference and is not a lot of money to do

 

I run with 15" 195 tyres and my wife drives the car with no complaint about the steering

 

(and it saves the car looking funny on skinny tyres)
