Re: Tyres for the superlites

[Anthony Gould]

Thanks Terry   At the moment they have 185/60s on them, it seems that the car doesn't handle as well as it did with 205s on Hotwire wheels. The car seems to wander over the road and doesn't feel as confident. Could that be because the tires are to skinny, or would it be that I need a wheel alingment (I only just had one with the old wheels).   Thanks, Anthony ----- Original Message ----- From: Terry Rudd To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 17, 2002 6:41 PM Subject: RE: Tyres for the superlites Anthony,   For 50 series on a 14" rim you would need to run 205 or even 215 to get your loaded radius anywhere near correct, but you then have clearance problems. With 14" 195/60 are sweet, there's good selection of tyres and priced right too. Look at Continental Sport Contacts (grooved slicks) or Firestone Hawks for the pick of them. You can probably get Yokis or Pirellis too, some ppl like them but I don't on a 1600 as they breakaway without a lot of warning which is OK on a track where there's nothing much to hit but on the street it's a bit different.   Regards, Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Anthony Gould Sent: Wednesday, 17 April 2002 9:38 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Tyres for the superlites Hi Guys   I need a new set of tyres, but was wondering what people think is the best size. The wheels I have are 14x6 superlites. I was thinking 185x50 for the front and 195x50 for the rear.   do I need to worry about the width of the tyre in relation to the rim width?   Thanks, Anthony. --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
