hi everyone
i (think) my original 6 came with 15" rims. And according to my research; the tire size is whats equivalent to today's 165/80-15. I m in search for some replacement tires and my objective is to : 1. retain the original look / avoid the low profile 50's or 55's 2. perhaps get something just a tad wider (195)? Anyone have any recommendation? Thanks in advance. |

Pete Stout (now editor of Panorama) bought a set of Vredestien tires in the original size. He liked them. Coker Tire also carries a lot of new tires in "vintage" sizes.
I've been running 195/60-15, 195/65-15, and (now) 205/60-15 for a number of years. I like the wider tires giving me more grip... They do not look right, though. --DD |
