Fellow scions,
I have not gotten 19 responses to my TR6 tire poll - and the answers are
listed at the bottom of this e-mail
- of the 15 responses who quoted width, 6 were using 205 width, 3 215, 3 185
- of the 12 responses who quoted brand, 3 use BF Goodrich Touring, 3 Redlines
All in all, probably not a very representative sample, but interesting to
see the different choices of the scions - and especially to see the
differences in the combinations of width and profile, and consequently
differences in diameter, which must throw some people's speedos off.
Personnaly, I will probably look around for a set of BF Goodrich Touring
when it warms up enough outside to take the car for longer trips.
Thanks for the responses - if anybody wants to add to this list, just drop
me an e-mail back, and I will repost in a month or so what the situation is
like.
Cheers,
Michael
