<VV> Results of Tire Size Request

[Bryan Blackwell]

Hi Hank,

Sorry, couldn't reply until this evening.  I would also suggest either  
the 195/60-15 or 205/60-15 to correspond to a 6.50-13 or 7.00-13.   
Assuming your car isn't lowered, either size should fit.  If you use  
the 205's, do check the clearance at the front lower corner of the  
front wheelwells and the inside top.

I don't know if anyone responded on brand, but my favorite general  
purpose tire is the BFG Radial T/A.  You will find there's a big  
difference in ride between tires and the T/As ride ok while delivering  
reasonable performance at a decent price.

One other comment, it's nice to be able to rotate the tires for a  
normal street car if you're driving it enough to wear them out before  
they rot, so having the same sizes front and rear can be an advantage.

Let us know what you get and how they turn out.  Good luck!
