I have 15 inch wire wheels, 5" wide, 72 spoke. Its an early TR4 in the 9000
commission number range.
I just checked my date code and YIKES!!! Its 2011!!!!!
Needless to say I'm in for new tires.
These have less than 5,000 miles on them. But - I bought the car which had
sat for 25+ years, and put new tires on it so I could drive it after
rebuilding the hydraulics, etc. Realized the rings were shot but life
intervened. Several years later I put 89 mm pistons in it and started
driving it.
Now its today and I need new tires again. Its got 185 / 65 on it now; I'm
wondering how wide I can go? Obviously tread life is not a concern!!! And
the car is far from stock; the first and second owners replaced the
generator and did a lot of performance mods. This is Dallas; I try not to
drive in inclement weather and obviously snow is not an issue. So I'm
looking at "high performance summer tires."
