I am running Michelin 155/80/13 on stock disk wheels. These were the ones
that my local tire shop put in the newspaper ad as the ones you could get
for $19.00. He told me these were at his cost and just used the $19.00 part
to grab your eye for the Sale.
Running 30 psi front, 28 psi rear. As I have only had the car for 9 months I
can say that they are better than the last set. They were nylon bias belted
tires that were installed in 1977. I felt a bit odd putting 80000 mile
warrenty tire on a 38 year old car with 70000 miles on it.
