Tire time
So now that my $25 each D60A2s are destroyed, I need to get a
new pair of shoes. I usually tune out the tire talk, but now
that I need 'em...
I'd like to go wider, but 225 is probably too much for the 7"
Speedlines, and 215 is slim pickins. Looks like I'm stuck with
205/55 or the stock 205/60 (not sure I'm ready for the Zehr-
izing 205/50).
I guess I'm looking at the usual suspects here:
Dunlop SP8000
Bridgestone Potenza RE71
BFG Comp T/A
Pirelli P6000
etc.
I'm leaning towards the SP8000 because I liked the D60A2s (for
what they were), but with the stiffer suspension they felt like
a limiting factor. The only other tires I've had on this car are
some Firestone Firehawk touring crap that the PO put on there.
I want something great in the turns, and can handle the wet, but
judging from the last couple of years snow won't be a problem.
(That's my way of daring nature to dump the fluffy stuff on me!)
I'll take any and all input under consideration.
TIA,
