Will my Diesels beat up my gasser..? pic's

I have my first gasser now and love it,


I just can't let the Diesels see her or they might kick the Dino out of her, but anyways she is a 5 speed with new suspension & needs new shoes and hoping for any suggestions for

brands
size/ specs.........I put up a post on the tires forum too, but no one really reads that and I know there must be some help here from the D-heads.

Thanks,

Austin

Nice '87.

185/65-15 is stock, works well. Michelin tires for me.

Michelin Pilot Exalto All Seasons. I have a set of these on my 2004 Saab. Great traction and they are wearing pretty well so far.

That car is sceaming for some real rubber. What did they put on the EVOIII's? Something meaty from AMG.

Maybe do a DTM conversion?

Austin 85,

Read the tire report in NOV (or OCT) 2007 Consumers Reports.

thanks for the input.

I ordered these for a nice price http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Kumho&tireModel=Solus+KR21

I have Kumhos on my 300CD and they have been good for over a year now.

These looked like good on wet roads, nice traction and quiet.

Need all of this in Florida.

Thanks. It handles great and love to have a 5 speed. There is a couple of clear coat spots pealed on the hood, and it had a factory repiant on the rear pass door area in '99. Other than that it is very clean.

I take 3rd gear up to 55-60.

So with the new tires it will zip.
