w123 with newer w126 aluminum wheels... Tire recomendation
Hello, we have put some 15" aluminum 15 hole flat faced wheels off of a newer 1988 420 sel onto our 1985 300TD. They seem good and clear the suspension in the front. I need to get new tires for this combination and would like some opinions.
I have narrowed it down to a few choices....Bridgestone Potenza Pole Position RE960AS...or Cooper CS4...or Continental Extreme Contact DWS.
I have also considered Hankook Optimo 4s and a Toyo tire that seems to be exclusive to the store that quoted me.....but these two seemed to get mixed reviews....and I think with the weight of this car most of the bad traits will show up for me.
I was wondering if anyone here has opinions on these tire choices. I have to keep in mind the weight of the car they are going onto. Are we even looking at the proper type of tire or should we be in a different ball park altogether? Thanks.
planned size would be 205/65/15, but am open to advice on the size as long as they will fit for sure..
