The suspension geometry on these cars were never designed to accommodate lower profile tires. I had 55 series tires on my car but, the steering constantly "hunted" on bumpy and grooved road surfaces. It was a handful to drive and not much fun. I changed to a taller profile 205/65x15 tire (I also had 15x6 Panasports) and the improvement was noticeable. Had it been available I would have opted for a 70 series sidewall.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">As was previously stated, old tires, regardless of the mileage, should be replaced in a timely manner.

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.</p><p class="ydp88215f45yiv9602154313MsoNormal"> </p><p class="ydp88215f45yiv9602154313MsoNormal"><b>From:</b> 6pack <6pack-bounces@autox.team.net> <b>On Behalf Of </b>jhmdds@aol.com<br><b>Sent:</b> Monday, July 19, 2021 4:15 PM<br><b>To:</b> 6pack@autox.team.net<br><b>Subject:</b> [6pack] Tires</p><p class="ydp88215f45yiv9602154313MsoNormal"> </p><div><p class="ydp88215f45yiv9602154313MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;">Hi, </span></p><div><p class="ydp88215f45yiv9602154313MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"> </span></p></div><div><p class="ydp88215f45yiv9602154313MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;">I have Panasport 15X6 wheels on my 1975 TR6.
