70elan Freshman Member Registered: 08/31/09 Posts: 2 Loc: NC	Looking for tire sugestions for my Elan+2, currently running 9 year old Bridgestone 175/70/13. As 13" preformance tires are all but impossible to find, looking to see what other owners are currently running. Thanks

ScottNC Freshman Member Registered: 12/23/09 Posts: 1 Loc: North Carolina	I'm happy too with the Sumitomo HTR 200's I've put on my old cars with 13" wheels. Cheap and really good tires.

wa6rxm Freshman Member Registered: 01/04/10 Posts: 8 Loc: Santa Ynez, CA	FOR ESPRIT OWNERS: I just got Toyo Proxie 4's fitted on my Esprit. Nice tires. Dispite the change in front size (225/50/15's) no rubbing on the body even at full turns.
