time to get the 15 inchers off!
I'm looking for 215/40 R17 for my '88 9KT, with Jamex springs and HRE 3piece wheels. No markings on the wheels but I believe they are 7 inches wide. I had 215/45R17 and they rubbed a bit on hard corners on the front fender lips, even with very little tread, so....
I have the option of Yokohama Parada, and Falken (2 variety) locally. Has anyone heard anyhting good about these? I need a good tire for rain as well, as I live on the "wetcoast".
Any help would be appreciated. The above two choices are what is in stock, but any other suggestions that are ~100-120USD per tire would be helpful, so I can look a little over yander. thanks
steev
