Agree with Geo, the Vreds on my TR3 are the stock 165 and offer great =
handling. But if your looking to change the appearance, it=E2=80=99s a =

Tire size is very much a personal choice and sounds like you are set on =
wide and low, but have you considered something closer to the original =
fitment?

Vreds in 185/15 give the car (IMO) a great period feel consistent with =
how it was designed. They also look right to my eye.

I have 15 inch wire wheels, 5=E2=80=9D wide, 72 spoke. Its an early TR4 =
in the 9000 commission number range.
=20
I just checked my date code and YIKES!!! Its 2011!!!!!
=20
Needless to say I=E2=80=99m in for new tires.
=20
These have less than 5,000 miles on them. But =E2=80=93 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.
=20
Now its today and I need new tires again. Its got 185 / 65 on it now; =
I=E2=80=99m 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=E2=80=99m looking at =E2=80=9Chigh performance =
summer tires.=E2=80=9D
