Where Ryan is running there is no limit to tires other
than DOT and fit under the car for stock class. The best bet if you are actually going with different wheels is 205-50, but not all cars can fit those, then go to 195-50 for AX. I don't think I would recommend those sizes for all-around driving if you don't get special wheels. Too small diameter. I have 205-55 and think it's a good compromise. Mark S. '70 914-6 |
