I have just check my tyres and found that I have only 2mm on both rear
tyres!  So, time for replacements me thinks.  Anyway, the point of this
e-mail is to ask you for your opinions on what would tyres I should get
(I will be replacing the rear pair).  They will need to be good wet
tyres, but also good for occasional motorway driving at speed.  I think I
will stick with the standard 155 SR 13 (BTW what does the tyre code
mean?)  My car is a 1977 Spit 1500, the rear suspension has recently been
overhauled and polyurethane bushes installed, may this affect tyre
choice?

Anyway all responses are muchly appreciated,

cheers

John and Saskia the Spitfire
