I no i have been here before, but its time to order my tyres. I was going to go 215/60/15,s, but there isnt much choice and they arexpensive.
I have seen that i can also use 195/65/15,s there seems to be more choice and they seem more priced for my budget.
i will use the 215,s if they will work better on my car, but i thought i,d ask your advise before i orderd them. . . . . . .cheers,
Dave
 
The cars origianlly came on 185/70/15s, which were quickly superceded by 195/65/15s with 215/60/15s offered as a frequently taken option. Id fit 4x195s if the choice is better, but dont mix them because itll be crap and they shouldnt have mismatched tyres (and that applies to Turbos, too!).
 
In the past I have said not, based on my 2.7l which has 195s, but I now think that this was actually caused by the very track focussed geo. This was set up with big wheels and then had the originals refitted before I bought it. Casting ymyind back further I had a 1987 which I bought from an OPC and theyd fited new 195s all round and it drove beautifully, so I have revised my opinion.
 
With my car being a 86 and having the earlier suspension , will the 195,s on cookie cutters fill the arches ok, dont want them to look undertyred and lost. Dave
 
Well after much thought and cider, i went for pirelli p1 cinturato,s, i got 4 205/60/15,s for £280. I now have to work out what nuts to use, alloy ones seem expensive and i,m a bit unsure they will take day to day punishment. . . anyone help me here. . . AGAIN. . . [:D], cheers, Dave
 
I just replaced my alloy nuts after 25 years and over 200,000 miles. They were starting to look a bit flakey and scruffy but have lasted well. I bought a set of 20 from Porschapart at £58. They look the mutts nuts and I no longer worry about my wheels coming loose http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Set-of-20-Porsche-924S-944-968-911-964-993-Black-Alloy-Wheel-Nuts-/181293354045?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2a35ed0c3d

[:D][:D][:D][:D] Cheeky so and so, have you seen my thread on non running, Garage Queens by default at the moment. along with the black car not running the 220 has decided to start leaking coolant, a session at Mr Moores very large garage at his house this weekend will see the problem with a view to a fix. Gone past the lying on the driveway in the wind and rain buggering about with cars, garage at home is too narrow to be comfortable working on the car plus there will be coolant all over the floor [:mad:] My excuse is that you appreciate them more when you do get to drive them, one of them will end up at the Classic Le Mans this year.....................again [;)]
