could you compare following original wheel sizes for me
165 HR 15 on 5.5x15 Steel 165 HR 15 on 5.5x15 Mahle 901.361.017.00 185 HR 14 on 5.5x14 Fuchs 901.361.016.10 I'd like to learn more about the pros and cons of those wheel types. I posted this in the "Originality and History" forum, because I don't want all the comments like "why don't you take 225 on 7x16" and similar ... I'm talking about factory options only (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) Gustl |

Pat-
How often do you drive your "daily driver"? Lack of use + any significant sunlight will dry out the sidewalls. The constant flexing of the sidewalls during use "works" the built-in lubricant/conditioner from the inside towards the outside of the sidewalls. How do I know this? I was bored one night and actually read my tire info that came with the OEM Michelins on the Viper. ps - got the clips, thanks again. Cheers - Ted K |
