BTW, many people run a 205/70/15 modern radial which is a common size
and is close to the same rolling diameter as your Redlines. And yes the
steel wheels hold air fine.

Subject: Question about tires
I'm new to this list (just bought my TR6 last summer, and have been
learning about it) and have a question about replacement tires. I think
I
saw someone post their experience with modern tires recently, but I
can't
find the posting. So here's the question:
Will I experience better ride and handling with modern, non-redline
tires
than with what I now have, which look like original-type Michelin
redlines? I think the poster used Michelin 705/15 radials; I would hate
to
lose the redlines but if the handling and ride are improved I'll go for
it.
My current tires have tubes, on steel rims. Is there any problem with
going tubeless on these rims? For example, do the rims actually hold
air?
Any help would be appreciated.
BTW I really really like this TR6 - first one I ever had...
