Greetings,

As you well know 185 SR15 Michelin Red Lines can't be found.  (It wasn't
really a very sporting tire anyway).  I am wanting to keep the same rolling
radius if possible and still benefit from modern tire technology to keep a
somewhat sporting nature to the car (suspension mods are on website if
interested).

I think either 205 75/15 or 205 70/15 tires come close and will allow me to
keep the original wheels.

Panasport makes a 16 inch wheel that will fit.  However, I don't think a
wide tire will not look correct on the car so a 195 70/16 or 205 65/16
would work if they exist.

What has been your experience with getting relatively modern rubber on a
TR6?  Any input would be appreciated for either 15 or 16 inch rims.  Tire
clearance? Tread wear? Performance? Appearance?

Thanks for all your help.

God bless,
