[6pack] Tires

[dave]

What is your goal?

 

Handling in dry weather?  Handling in wet weather?  Long life?  Snow?  Those are 4 very different tires.

 

We went with these:  https://www.ranteer.com/davescars/tr6/scan0058.jpg

These are called "Ultra High Performance Sport" or "Streetable Track Tires"..

Tire Size: 205/50ZR15 Extra Load

Ultra High Performance Sport

Manufacturer Part #: 207-350

UTQG: 200AAA

Sidewall Color: Black Wall

Load/Speed Rating: 89/W

 

Not so good in rain, obviously worthless in snow.  Won’t last that long, but I doubt I will run 20k miles in 5 or 6 years.

 

Just a note here:  there are many who claim that you can run tires as long as they look ok, or if you store them inside.  That’s fiction.  7 or 8 years is the maximum tires will last.  They dry rot from the inside.  Don’t be foolish; old tires will disintegrate as you are driving and you will be on a sled.

Hi, 

 

I have Panasport 15X6 wheels on my 1975 TR6.  Need some new tires and was looking for recommendations.

 

Thanks,

 

Jamie Maddox
