In Reply to: nice car -- one suggestion re. tires posted by doug on January 28, 2001 at 22:26:44:


I find them to be quite decent in the dry or the we. I hade a set on my 528e (same size: 195/70-14) and on an Alpina (225/50-16), as well as on an Alfa Spider in 205/60-14.

As you can see, I haven't drive the coupe on the yet, but I hope they will be fine on it as they were on the other cars I've used them.

The appear "period" 1972 as well, which fits the car (I do favor the OEM look).

very pretty car. i noticed you're using dunlop SP40's and i have one suggestion: change them immediately.

i used to use those tires on my coupe and was appalled at how badly they handled. the tragedy is i didn't realize how horrible they were until i changed over to a pirelli P4000 with the same specs almost 5 years later! i wasted 5 years with those awful tires!

if keeping a stock look is important, change those tires -- the difference is night & day.

best of luck to you,
doug
