Sounds like you're stuck. You can spend hefty-dollars on crappy TRX rubber (bad idea), or you can upgrade, which will require purchasing a set of 16" rims first, THEN a new set of tires. The factory rims on ebay are outrageous - the sets I saw all needed refinishing to approach stock appearance, and the sellers were asking for the moon. Even for the aftermarket sets.

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)
Shopbot.ca ($563)
I don't want to pay that kind of
money.
Thank you!
