Its got 185 / 65 on it now; I’m wondering how wide I can go? Obviously tread life is not a concern!!! And the car is far from stock; the first and second owners replaced the generator and did a lot of performance mods. This is Dallas; I try not to drive in inclement weather and obviously snow is not an issue. So I’m looking at “high performance summer tires.”<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal>** <a href="mailto:triumphs@autox.team.net" target="_blank">triumphs@autox.team.net</a> **<br><br>Donate: <a href="http://www.team.net/donate.html" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a><br>Archive: <a href="http://www.team.net/pipermail/triumphs" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/pipermail/triumphs</a> <a href="http://www.team.net/archive" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/archive</a><br><br>Unsubscribe/Manage: <a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/triumphs/ahwahneetr@gmail.com" target="_blank">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/triumphs/ahwahneetr@gmail.com</a><o:p></o:p></p></blockquote></div><p class=MsoNormal>** <a href="mailto:triumphs@autox.team.net">triumphs@autox.team.net</a> **<br><br>Donate: <a href="http://www.team.net/donate.html">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a><br>Archive: <a href="http://www.team.net/pipermail/triumphs">http://www.team.net/pipermail/triumphs</a> <a href="http://www.team.net/archive">http://www.team.net/archive</a><br><br>Unsubscribe/Manage: <a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/triumphs/notakitcar@yahoo.com">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/triumphs/notakitcar@yahoo.com</a><o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div></body></html>
