Michel:
I upgraded my wheels on my Mondial to 16" wheels from Superformance in the UK. Much better modern rubber available in that size rather than the metics. Keep the old stuff for show or if you sell it, but 16" wheels really are he way to go.
Visited the body shop today, no more rust/dents in my QV, one more coat of primer, then final blocking before paint. Looked great.

Sent from my iPad
1981 308 GTSi, Michelin trx 220 55 vr 390. They (4)
are 10 years old and I do around 1600 miles every summer. I paid $1200. can.
back in 2003 tax and installation included.
They have 5 lines of treads. The inside line of
treads is totally worn at the rear (both sides of course). The rest is far from
new, but could easily last a few more summers. The front ones show wear,
but at least are equally worn.
I'll do a tire rotation this winter
of course. But what else could I do to prevent the 2 front ones that I'll put in
the rear to become like the present rear ones ?
Coker tire ($429)
I don't want to pay that kind of
money.
Thank you!
