Rich - I am going to order the wheels and tires for my car in the next
couple of weeks but I am a little confused by the Guidelines. One place
says
*Acceptable Tire Sizes:*
*Cross-ply 5.90 x 15 (some RS5s were marked 5.50/5.90x15)*
*Radial 165 x 15*
In another section it says
*(For example, a car with 165x15 tires would receive a 5-point deduction...*
When I look at the tire sites I see the Roadspeeds that meet the guideline
although they are 590s.. The Michelins all seem to be 165s. I have found a
Pirellie Cinturato at 165 as well. The question is if I use the radial do I
get a 5 point deduction? As for Mitchlin's I can find a 145 X but all of
the other tires have XZX or some other direvitive. If I use a Mitchlin XZX
(165) or the Pirellie Cinturato (again 165) would that be a 5 point
deduction?
I am also looking for the source for the rubber retaining rings that hold
the wires to the front turn signal housings. I have not been able to find
them and would like to add them to the car. I placed an order with
MacGregor for some parts so we will see how that goes.
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and have a very Happy New Year.
John
