[urq] Tyre Recommendations

[Louis-Alain Richard]

I bought some SP Sport 5000 for my 1983: 205/60VR15. I don't have any
problem with them except for one thing: they don't have "the" look. Round
shoulders, all seasons tread, not "square" enough. But for the performance,
the 5000 are just fine, quiet, grippy, nice over water and after 2 summers,
still 6/32th left. If I buy some this summer, I will buy the new Dunlop
Sport SP 01, or the Michelin "Idontknowwhat-4". A Quattro needs a nice tire
to express its "Sports Car" side...

PS: If still available, my "perfect" vintage tire would be a Pirelli P7 (or
P700). Square shoulders, big square blocks, "THE" looks. And Italy is so
close to Germany...

        I need to get some new tyres for my 83 UrQ with standard 15" Ronal 
wheels. I would prefer a high performance all season 205-60VR 15 and it
looks as 
if the Dunlop SP Sport 5000 or Yokohama AVS dB S2 would  be fine. There is 
also a high performance summer Yokohama AVS ES100 available. Does anyone
have 
experience of any of these or any other recommendations? I am not concerned 
about wear but would really like excellent wet weather performance. The
current 
Bridgestone RE92s, which I also have on a Subaru, are really quite
inadequate 
when it rains.
